"GLOBEC 2000: Gulf of Alaska Long-Term Observation Program
T. Weingartner, L. Haldorson, R. Hopcroft, K. Coyle, T. E. Whitledge (all at
University of Alaska, Fairbanks), T. Royer (Old Dominion University)
This project is to conduct the Gulf of Alaska Long-Term Observation Program
(GOA-LTOP) as part of Phase II of the Northeast Pacific (NEP) GLOBEC program.
The GOA shelf supports a rich ecosystem that includes many commercially
important fisheries. The basis for this productivity is enigmatic for the GOA
shelf is deep, forced by downwelling-favorable winds, and fed by a massive
nutrient-poor coastal freshwater discharge. Both the winds and the freshwater
discharge are intimately linked to the strength and position of the Aleutian
Low. The GOA ecosystem experiences substantial physical and biological changes
on decadal and interannual time scales. Although some of these changes are
correlated with various climatic indices a mechanistic understanding of
climate change and ecosystem response is unavailable. The generic goal of this
LTOP is to understand and quantify temporal (seasonal and interannual) and
spatial (cross- and along-shelf) variations in the thermohaline, chemical, and
biological properties and relationships of this shelf. Our proposal supports
GLOBEC goals that will help: 1) retrospective studies interpret historical
data, 2) design a cost-effective long-term monitoring program, 3) provide the
seasonal and interannual context for concurrent mesoscale and process studies,
and 4) provide boundary conditions and data sets for model evaluation. This
5-year project entails 4 field years and a fifth year for data analyses and
synthesis. The field effort involves seven, 9-day interdisciplinary
cruises/year in the northern GOA. The study area encompasses the 220-km long,
Seward Line (sampled in the 1970s) that extends across the shelf and slope and
high resolution sampling of the Alaska Coastal Current (ACC), upstream,
downstream, and within Prince William Sound. The ACC is an important shelf
habitat for yoy salmon migrating from nursery areas in the sound and into the
GOA. The sampling effort (Table A) is year-round and motivated by seasonally
significant physical and biological events affecting yoy pink salmon.

The sampling protocol followed GLOBEC guidelines and used gear types and
techniques similar to those in the Oregon LTOP that was also a part of the
NEP-GLOBEC program. Most of the research was conducted from the R/V Alpha
Helix. Fish sampling was done from a chartered trawler in July, August, and
October. Both vessels worked together during these cruises so that the fishing
charter could verify fish targets detected on the acoustics array towed from
the Alpha Helix.

The MOCNESS-1 carries nine 1-m2 nets usually of 335 micrometer mesh and is intended for use with the macrozooplankton. All nets are black to reduce contrast with the background. A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).";

"Program in a Nutshell
Goal: To understand the effects of climate variability and climate change on the distribution, abundance and production of marine animals (including commercially important living marine resources) in the eastern North Pacific. To embody this understanding in diagnostic and prognostic ecosystem models, capable of capturing the ecosystem response to major climatic fluctuations.
Approach: To study the effects of past and present climate variability on the population ecology and population dynamics of marine biota and living marine resources, and to use this information as a proxy for how the ecosystems of the eastern North Pacific may respond to future global climate change. The strong temporal variability in the physical and biological signals of the NEP will be used to examine the biophysical mechanisms through which zooplankton and salmon populations respond to physical forcing and biological interactions in the coastal regions of the two gyres. Annual and interannual variability will be studied directly through long-term observations and detailed process studies; variability at longer time scales will be examined through retrospective analysis of directly measured and proxy data. Coupled biophysical models of the ecosystems of these regions will be developed and tested using the process studies and data collected from the long-term observation programs, then further tested and improved by hindcasting selected retrospective data series.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
