Data at a Glance

Description

EcoMon is the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center Ecosystem Monitoring program for the Northeast U.S. continental shelf. EcoMon main objective is hydrography and zooplankton sampling along the Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts . Funding for the project was provided by the NOAA JPSS PGRR program (https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/current-satellite-missions/currently-flying/joint-polar-satellite-system/proving-grounds). Additional information for this project can be found in Turner et al., 2021 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0034425721004491).
