The earliest, a summer mooring, was deployed April 24, 2019 from NOAA ship Oscar Dyson (cruise DY19-04, mooring ID 19bsp-2a, NOAA expedition code 33OA20190419) and recovered September 20, 2019 (cruise DY19-08, NOAA expedition code 33OA20190919). All other moorings were deployed from NOAA ship Oscar Dyson in October, 2018 (cruise DY19-08; mooring IDs 19bsp-2b, 19bsp-4a, 19bsp-5a, 19bsp-8a, 19bsp-11a, 19bsp-12a). The last digits of the mooring ID indicate mooring location, e.g. 2a for M2, 8a for M8, etc. (a and b indicate first and second deployment of the year at a location). Most of these over-winter moorings were recovered in September or October, 2020. Due to the 2020 pandemic shutdown, one mooring recovery was delayed until February of 2021 (19bsp-2b). Four moorings M2, M4, M5 and M8 are deployed at approximately 70 meters depth and are located along the 70-meter isobath of the shelf. These sites have provided long-term data records: site M2 (bs2) has been occupied since 1995. Site M8 is within the boundaries of the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) northern Bering Sea DBO-1 area near St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. Deployments at sites M11 and M12 were a collaboration with NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC, A. De Robertis) at depths of approximately 116 and 98 meters, respectively. *** Data were collected using Teledyne RDI Workhorse Sentinel ADCP (WCP). Variables include zonal currents (U), meridional currents (V), and vertical velocity (W). Data are hourly. *** The cruises were funded by the NOAA Arctic Research Program and NOAA, PMEL for the EcoFOCI program which included scientists from both NOAA and the University of Washington, Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES). Deployment and recovery operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel. Mooring time series data were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Data were submitted as CF-compliant NetCDF files. *** Data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Shaun Bell, Ryan McCabe, Margaret Sullivan. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. moorings entry created as MOORINGS OF UNITED STATES, but has been used as a generic MOORINGS entry.
