Surveys in 2000 and 2004 were from early June to early July, the survey in 2002 was from early June to late July, and the survey in 1999 was from early July to early August. Searches for cetaceans were conducted from the flying bridge of the NOAA ship Miller Freeman at a platform height of 12 m above the sea surface and survey speed of 18.5 22.0 km/h (10 12 kts). North south transect lines were spaced 37 km apart and defined by the historical acoustic survey for walleye pollock. Insufficient funding precluded including cetacean observers on all legs except in 2002. See Friday et al. 2012. Cetacean distribution and abundance in relation to oceanographic domains on the eastern Bering Sea shelf: 1999-2004 (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967064512000100). The primary objective was to document the distribution of cetacean species occurring on the shelf of the eastern Bering Sea and to collect line-transect data for abundance estimation of cetacean species. completed Clapham, Phillip phillip.clapham@noaa.gov pointOfContact Waite, Janice 206-526-6554 7600 Sand Point Way, NE Seattle WA 98115-6349 janice.waite@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned abundance distribution line-transect survey theme summer temporal Gulf of Alaska place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

In 1999, the Wincruz version was a precursor to the one used in the following years. In 2000, Survey data were recorded using a Turbo PASCAL (Borland Software Corp., Austin, TX) language-based software. The software included a proprietary routine (Survey, Cascadia Research, Olympia, WA). For years 2002 and 2004, daily data files from Wincruz were merged (http://swfsc.noaa.gov/uploadedFiles/Divisions/PRD/WinCruz.pdf) For years 2002 and 2004, data was extracted with customized FORTRAN program (written by Paul Wade, NMML) to create csv files
