This product documents ongoing changes to the Pacific-Arctic ecosystem in light of changing physical drivers. The project will continue the analysis of physical data collected on the DBO-NCIS cruises to date (2017–2021), in conjunction with ancillary and historical data, while collaborating with the interdisciplinary team of scientists involved in the program. This includes a study of the changing halocline of the Beaufort Gyre, the formation and spreading of newly formed winter water on the Beaufort shelf, and the Pacific Water flow branches on the Chukchi shelf. These and other efforts have continued to advance our understanding of the water mass composition, transformation, and progression of flow from the Bering Strait to the Arctic Basin, and how this in turn impacts Arctic ecosystems.
