Abundance estimates and sea ice extent
changes (Working Group) |
Progress |
| TERMS OF
REFERENCE: (1) collaboration between the sea
ice experts and abundance analysts to obtain
abundance estimates by 10° longitudinal
slices for the new abundance estimation
methods (obtaining these estimates using the
standard method may be extremely time
consuming), (2) provide information about
sea ice extent so it could be included as a
covariate in abundance estimation, (3)
examine hypotheses that could explain if,
and how, a change in sea ice extent might be
related to the abundance estimates. |
