Chart of the Bering Sea showing the bathymetry of the eastern shelf. Examples of the southern ice limit for April 1976 and 1979 are indicated. Percent ice cover calculations were made as outUned in the text using the area blocked out as indicated over the eastern Bering Sea (after Niebauer 1980). DATA Weekly mean southern ice limit data for the Bering Sea were obtained from the Naval Fleet Weather Facilities in Suitland, Maryland. The estimates represent both satellite and visual observations. The weekly percentage of ice coverage was calculated as the ratio of ice coverage to total area (ice plus open water) considered in Fig. 9-1. This gives a quanti- tative estimate of ice coverage (hereafter called ice) but does not take into account ice thickness or concentrations (, 1/8 concentration is weighted equally with 8/8 concentrations). Monthly mean SSTs were obtained from the Naval Fleet Numerical Weather Central, Monterey, CaUfor- nia, through D. R. McLain of National Marine Fish- eries Service in Monterey. The data represent anal- yses of temperature reports made by ships of oppor-.
