AFSC/ABL: Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (GLOBEC) fish and oceanography data
Understanding the processes that regulate early marine survival of salmon is a major goal of the Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (GLOBEC) Northeast Pacific (NEP) program. Faster growth and larger body size are generally associated with higher marine survival for most species of juvenile salmon, which experience relatively high mortality rates during early marine life. The interaction between the temporal-spatial distribution of juvenile salmon, growth performance, environmental conditions, and stage-specific survival are critical to understanding how physical and biological factors contribute to production and survival, and influence the mechanisms, magnitude, location, and timing of marine mortality.
The northern Coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) is a highly productive, down-welling based system where freshwater runoff and winds dominate the physical processes on the shelf. The physical environment changes at different spatial and temporal scales, which is believed to influence inter-annual variability in distribution, feeding, growth, and survival of juvenile salmon. Pink salmon are the upper trophic level target species of GLOBEC, however, the overarching programmatic goal is to enhance our understanding of the processes driving the physical structure and biological productivity of the highly dynamic CGOA system.

Data collection from 2004 to the present has been supported by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), on cruises aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson and the M/V Tiglax. Fisheries data 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.", "describedByType": "application/octet-stream" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "GCMD Keyword Forum Page", "accessURL": "https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords", "mediaType": "text/html", "description": "Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2026.
