The purpose of the study was to use dissolved methane as a tracer of mean circulation and to define vertical and horizontal mixing scales in local regions of the southeastern Bering Sea. The subregions selected for study included St. George Basin, a fault basin located on the outer shelf of Bristol Bay, and the North Aleutian Shelf. Both regions were identified as potential off-shore leasing sites for gas and oil production.
