Data on the species encountered (including marine mammals), their abundance, distribution and behavior. Data collected aboard cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Penninsula, 1993, 1999 and 2001. The objectives of the LTER seabird component during the 92-93 season cruises were similar.  These objectives included 1) determining the pelagic abundance and distribution of Adelie Penguins, 2) examining how the physical and biological characteristics of the marine environment influence these parameters and, 3) using these data to identify foraging areas that may be important to Adelie populations being studied as part of land-based  work at Palmer Station.  Secondary objectives included documenting the abundance and distribution of other seabirds and marine mammals within the LTER study area.  The focus of the January cruise was the nearshore foraging habitat,which required sampling at smaller scales.  All seabird censuses were thus conducted within approximately 100 kms of Palmer Station while traversing a sampling grid with stations at 10km intervals.  The first two days (18-20 January) of this cruise were spent covering the selected grid as rapidly as possible resulting in 45 transects spaced at 45-60 minute intervals.  There were no stops at the 10km stations during this Fast Grid phase.  Upon completion of the Fast Grid, a force 12 gale suspended data collection for 24 hours.  From January 22-25 the grid direction was reversed and the grid repeated.  During this Slow Grid phase, 2-M net tows were done at 10km intervals and BOPS and 1-M and 2-M net tows every 20 km.  All seabird censusesduring the cruise were done using the procedures outlined in theprevious paragraph.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\nevent\ncruise_id\nstudy_name (Study)\ndepth (m)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nstation\ngrid_line (km)\ngrid_station (km)\nsea_state\nsalinity (Sea Water Practical Salinity, 1)\n...

Length of Salpa thompsoni collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009 - 2019. Salps (Salpa thompsoni) are conspicuous gelatinous zooplankton capable of rapid population increases, enabling them to respond quickly to unpredictable phytoplankton blooms common in the Antarctic.  Body length was measured on salps collected from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula.  Salps have amongst the highest filtration rates of all zooplankton, and package their waste into large, fast sinking fecal pellets.  These pellets provide a mechanism to export carbon fixed in the surface waters into the deep ocean.  Since filtration rates and pellet  size are positively related to the size of a salp, population estimates of grazing and exported carbon can be determined through length data.\\n\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ncruise_tow_number\ncruise_name\nevent\ntow_number\ngrid_line\ngrid_station\ntime (Start Time, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nend_time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlat_end (Latitude, degrees_north)\nlon_end (Longitude, degrees_east)\ntow_duration (minutes)\nheading (degrees)\nspeed_over_ground\ndepth (m)\nwind_speed (m s-1)\nwind_direction (Wind To Direction, degrees)\n...

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, are a critical food-web link between phytoplankton primary production and higher trophic levels, such as whales, penguins, and seals.  Krill standard length was measured from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula.  Length data provides estimates of age-class abundance and recruitment.  Climate-induced changes in krill recruitment are an important consideration in the management and modelling of krill populations.\\n\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ncruise_tow_number\ncruise_name\nevent\ntow_number\ngrid_line\ngrid_station\ntime (Start Time, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nend_time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlat_end (Latitude, degrees_north)\nlon_end (Longitude, degrees_east)\ntow_duration (minutes)\nheading (degrees)\nspeed_over_ground\ndepth (m)\nwind_speed (m s-1)\nwind_direction (Wind To Direction, degrees)\nnet_id\ntow_type\n...

Zooplankton collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, aboard Palmer Station Antarctica LTER annual cruises off the western antarctic peninsula, 2009 - 2019. Zooplankton are a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group of animals.  Many zooplankton feed on phytoplankton and thus provide a link between primary producers and higher trophic levels.  Zooplankton density and biovolume were determined at grid stations on the annual LTER cruises along the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP).  Typically, zooplankton were collected with a 2x2 meter, 700um mesh net fitted with a flow meter and towed obliquely to 120m.  Zooplankton distributions vary spatially due to water column characteristics, which affect their predators' distributions.  As climate change continues to affect the WAP, the relative abundance of the various zooplankton components can also be expected to change.\\n\\n\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (Start Time, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nend_time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\ndepth (m)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nlat_end (Latitude, degrees_north)\nlon_end (Longitude, degrees_east)\ncruise_name\nevent\ncruise_tow_number\ngrid_line\ngrid_station\ntow_duration\nheading (degrees)\nspeed_over_ground\nwind_speed_start (Wind Speed, m s-1)\nnet_id\ntow_type\n...
