2000-2009 Ecosystem Monitoring of the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf: Cruise Reports
We conduct up to six shelf-wide surveys of plankton on the northeast U.S. continental shelf each year. 2000-2009 datasets.
Complete coverage of the shelf (Cape Hatteras to the Gulf of Maine) also occurs during the spring and fall bottom trawl surveys. Station coverage on other cruises throughout the year varies.
The following reports summarize the cruise operations, including gear sampled and additional projects supported. Temperature and salinity observation summaries from these cruises are available.
Our rigorously quality-controlled hydrographic data is publicly available through the NCEI World Ocean Database, and our plankton data is available through the NCEI Geoportal.
