Research > Data by cruise
Oceanographic data were primarily collected from the University of Alaska's School of Fisheries and Ocean Science research
vessel, the R/V
Alpha Helix from 1997-2004, under funding from the Northeast Pacific GLOBEC program. Data collection from 2004 to the present has been supported by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), on cruises initially aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson and then the M/V Tiglax. Beginning in 2010, a funding consortium was formed with NPRB joined by NOAA and the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) to ensure longer-term operations. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trusteee Council (EVOSTC) joined the consortium in 2012. Fisheries data during GLOBEC were collected on the
Alaska Dept.of Fish and Game research vessel, the R/V Pandalus. Stations are
occupied in the northern Gulf of Alaska primarily along the Seward Line and a few stations within
Prince William Sound. Other stations are
occupied on an opportunistic basis as time and weather (!) permit. The location
of the sampling lines and station GAK1 are shown on the station location map.
Processed data can be obtained from the GLOBEC JGOFS web data server, from
the NODC data archives, or by email request.
Data plots from individual cruises can be accessed in the table below. Other items of interest include electronic copies of posters presented on this work, a list of station coordinates and a chart of 1997-2004 sampling coverage.
