Details

These data were derived from bimonthly Ecosystem Monitoring (EcoMon) cruises throughout the Northeast US Continental Shelf, and represent a different estimation method than what is found in the zooplankton anomaly data set. Specifically, abundance anomalies were interpolated following an ordinary kriging approach by season across the Northeast Shelf Ecosystem. Exact methods used to derived these data are available at https://noaa-edab.github.io/ECSA/.
