These data type formats are designed to support studies of biological populations and ecosystems that are subject to impact from oil and gas development, marine pollution and other environmental disturbances. Information on marine animal populations, activities, migratory routes and breeding locales are obtained from either surface ship or aircraft surveys. The Marine Mammal Sighting and Census (F127) data type contains data from field observations of marine mammals. Obtained from ship or aircraft surveys, the data are collected to provide information on population density and distribution, mammal behavior and activity, migratory routes and breeding locales. In addition to data on the survey track and observed environmental conditions (including ice conditions, if encountered), F127 data may contain data from each species sighted. Parameters reported may include group size; total number of individuals, adults (males and females), subadults and pups; and mammal activity. F127 contains data for 1979 - 1991. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0014197 Preview graphic PNG 0014197 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-12-31 publication AIR TEMPERATURE ANIMALS - GROUP - BEHAVIOR ANIMALS - GROUP - NUMBER IN GROUP ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - AGE ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - BEHAVIOR ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - CAUSE OF DEATH ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - DIVE TIMES ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - MARKS OR TAGS ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - RELATIVE POSITION ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - STOMACH CONTENTS cloud amount/frequency cloud type DEBRIS GLARE GLARE - DIRECTION GLARE - TYPE HABITAT HUMAN ACTIVITY ICE ICE - CHARACTERISTICS ICE - COVERAGE ICE - DEFORMATION ICE - TYPE SEA STATE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - SEX TAXONOMIC CODE TIDE STAGE VISIBILITY WATER COLOR water depth WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS laboratory analysis visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological physical theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS US National Oceanographic Data Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Beaufort Sea Bering Sea Chukchi Sea Gulf of Alaska place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
