This paper is not subject to U.S. copyright. Published in 1998 by the Journal of Marine Research Gallery of Figures and Tables Figure 1. A map of the eastern Bering Sea continental shelf indicating the locations of the three moorings. Maximum ice extent during 1995 is shown by a dashed line.
Depth contours are in meters.
Wind velocity derived from atmospheric pressure and interpolated to a point midway between moorings 1 and 2. North is along the y-axis. The vertical location of each instrument is indicated by an arrow along the depth axis. The estimated period when ice covered the mooring is indicated by the blue line. Velocity was measured in 4-m bins.
