Bering Strait Mooring Data 2002-2004. Version 1.0

This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2002 to summer 2005, with annual replacement of moorings. The mooring program was part of the NSF-ONR SBI (Shelf Basin Interaction) project. This data set is a continuation of a time series started in 1990. For further details, see http://psc.apl.washington.edu/BeringStrait.html Bering Strait is bisected by the Russia - U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) boundary, requiring specific permission to work in the western channel of the strait. Although prior measurements exist from the western channel, this present data set is only from United States waters. Note that in 2004, moorings were also placed in the Russian channel under NOAA sponsorship (PIs: Weingartner and Whitledge, University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) ).
