#PROJECT: Fisheries Oceanography Coordinated Investigations
(FOCI)


#ABSTRACT:


#PURPOSE: The goal of this program is to relate variations of
fish and shellfish stocks of the Alaska Continental Shelf to
variations of the physical environment.

#LOCATION KEYWORDS: Bering Sea


#SAMPLING STATIONS: too numerous for this document


#BEGIN AND END DATES: 1983 to the present for this project.


#SAMPLING PERIODS: 6/3/87 to 3/4/88 for these cruises


#PARAMETERS: pressure (db), temperature (deg. C), salinity (ppt)
All measured with a Seabird 9-11 CTD array. Sigma T also provided 
and calculated in (kg/m3).


#METHODOLOGY: All data (conductivity, pressure for depth and
salinity) were taken at fixed locations by vertical casts using
the Seabird CTD array.  Data processed using Seabirds Seasoft
software.


#INSTRUMENT TYPES: Seabird 9-11 CTD array
