NMFS groundfish, bottom trawl survey, sea temperature, salinity, and other data from numerous platforms in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and coastal waters of Alaska from 1976-08-09 to 1998-02-07 (NCEI Accession 9800168)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 10:50 PM | Dataset Last Updated: February 16, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains primarily sea temperatures data and salinity records resultant from NMFS Alaska Fisheries Science Center groundfish bottom trawl surveys, Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and U.S. west coast surveys, from approx. Aug. 1976 to Sept. 1997. The records in the file EVENT.LST tie directly to the records in the file PROFILE.LST, keying on vessel, cruise and event. Also, the PROFILE.LST cruises are in no particular order, for example, the data records begin with a 1982 Bering Sea cruise made by the vessel Pat San Marie. The files are ASCII text and were extracted from the NMFS RACEBase Oracle data base.
