Three marine mammal observers participated on a cetacean survey from 26 June to 15 July 2003, aboard NOAA Ship Miller Freeman as a piggyback project during a RACE acoustic-trawl survey for pollock (see RACE's Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering report here: http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/Quarterly/jas2003/divrptsRACE2.htm). A total of 2,242 km of trackline were surveyed with 364 cetacean sightings (1,079 individuals).

Net primary productivity determined from 13C-labeled in situ incubations. Water collected via Niskin bottle was incubated with labeled bicarbonate for 24 hours at the original collection depth, and 13C-incorporation into suspended particulate organic carbon determined via mass spectrometry. Measurements made in the Gulf of California in the summers of 2004, 2005, and 2008, as well as from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific in 2008.

Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard R/V Brooks McCall, Cruise 05, to determine physical oceanographic parameters of the water column, and in some cases used to help guide sample collection as part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill sampling effort. Temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry data were collected onboard the Brooks McCall, Cruise 02. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.
