2HX04 SeaCAT Data

Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) is an effort by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and associated academic scientists. FOCI's goal is to understand the effects of abiotic and biotic variability on ecosystems of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea in order to discern the physical and biological processes that determine recruitment variability of commercially valuable finfish and shellfish stocks in Alaskan waters. We will focus our efforts on the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in particular areas of this region. These include Portlock Bank, Stevenson Trough, and one of the large offshore eddies, that typically impact this area between April and September and contribute to on and offshore fluxes.
