Aerial surveys of ringed seals (Phoca hispida) on fast and pack ice in the central Beaufort Sea of Alaska, 1985-1987 and 1996-1999 (NCEI Accession 0000931)

These datasets include counts of ringed seals (Phoca hispida) and other marine mammals made during aerial surveys of ringed seals on fast and pack ice of the central Alaskan Beaufort Sea during 1985-1987 and 1996-1999. The datasets includes counts of seals, by group; designation of whether seals were at holes or along cracks; ice conditions including ice deformation and ice type (fast ice or pack ice); weather conditions; time of observations, and location of observations.
