This dataset includes meteorological, visual observation and biological data collected aboard the NEW HORIZON during cruises NH0005 and NH0007 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2000-05-30 to 2000-08-12. These data include ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS, Flight direction, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION, ANIMALS - GROUP - BEHAVIOR and WIND SPEED. The instruments used to collect these data include visual observation. These data were collected by Cynthia Tynan of Northwest Fisheries Science Center - Seattle and David G. Ainley of H.T. Harvey & Associates as part of NEP. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-09-24.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:

GLOBEC NEP Northern California Current Bird Data
R/V New Horizon cruises NH0005 and 0007
NOTES:

David G. Ainley, Larry B. Spear, Cynthia T. Tynan, John A. Barth, Stephen D. Pierce, R. Glenn Ford and Timothy J. Cowles, 2005. Physical and biological variables affecting seabird distributions during the upwelling season of the northern California Current. Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, Volume 52, Issues 1-2, January 2005, Pages 123-143

As a part of the GLOBEC-Northeast Pacific project, we investigated variation in the abundance of marine birds in the context of biological and physical habitat conditions in the northern portion of the California Current System (CCS) during cruises during the upwelling season 2000. Continuous surveys of seabirds were conducted simultaneously in June (onset of upwelling) and August (mature phase of upwelling).

(3) Caution. Wind speed and direction may not be corrected for ship motion.
