 ## Data collection
 
-Temperature data have been collected annually during AFSC's standardized summer bottom trawl surveys of the eastern Bering Sea continental shelf (EBS shelf) and northern Bering Sea (BS). The EBS shelf survey has been conducted annually since 1982 (except for 2020) and the NBS survey was conducted in 2010, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022. In the eastern Bering Sea, surveys are conducted from late May or early June through late July to early August and the northern Bering Sea survey is conducted immediately after the EBS shelf survey (July-August). The EBS shelf survey samples 376 index stations and the NBS survey samples 143 index stations per year, although the survey footprint and number of stations has changed over time (e.g. EBS NW strata added in 1987). The EBS shelf survey progresses from the nearshore waters inside Bristol Bay to the outer continental shelf in the NW portion of southeastern Bering Sea (Figure 1). The NBS survey starts offshore where the EBS shelf survey ends, then progresses northward towards the Bering Strait and Norton Sound, before heading south towards Nunivak Island.

 Cold pool area and temperature trends are reported in the annual [Ecosystem Status Reports](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/ecosystems/ecosystem-status-reports-gulf-alaska-bering-sea-and-aleutian-islands) for the eastern Bering Sea and ecosystem and socioeconomic profiles for EBS stocks. Temperature products are also used as covariates in some [stock assessment](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/population-assessments/north-pacific-groundfish-stock-assessments-and-fishery-evaluation) models or their inputs (e.g. abundance indices).
