Science reports on the Bering Sea climate status and trends

These science reports describe the climate conditions of the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean for the most recent winter and spring, in the context of recent climate trends. The reports are prepared annually, posted on this website around mid-summer, and included into annual Ecosystem Consideration Chapters documents.

Each report consists of two parts:

1. General climate overview for the North Pacific Ocean
2. Specific analysis for the Bering Sea.
