        abstract:  This dataset contains seabird survey and associated environmental conditions data collected in the Chukchi Sea during the 5 August - 25 August 2017 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruises. Seabirds were surveyed using line transect methods. Seabird observations were recorded directly into a laptop computer using software which logged the geographic coordinates of each sighting. Incidental sightings of marine mammal were also recorded. Supplementary environmental data are included for the beginning of each survey period. The dataset is two comma-separated values (csv) files. The file named dlog_2017_dwc_core.csv contains the count of observed marine birds and mammals by species, their behavior, and the environmental conditions recorded during the surveys for the 2017 research cruise. The file named taxon_codes_2017.csv is an associated taxon code list of the observed species. This dataset was transformed from the native format into a table structure using Darwin Core term names as column names.
        purpose:  Seabirds are important top predators in the region and feed on zooplankton and fishes, and in some species even benthic invertebrates. Several species also are of cultural relevance to the local communities living along the northern coast of Alaska.

                description:  Parameter or Variable: ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS (measured); Units: count; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: visual observation; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Two observers, working in alternate shifts on the bridge, conducted all observations from the port side of the wheelhouse. We surveyed seabirds using line transect methods, recording distance and radial angle from the bow for each group of birds detected, using bins for distance (0-50, 51-100, 101-150, 151-200, 201-300, > 300 m) and angle bins (5 degree increments). Line transect methods will allow us to estimate the probability that birds within the sampling window were detected by observers (which can vary by species), and determine the effects of variables such as sea state on detectability. We recorded flying birds using instantaneous scans, to minimize bias in counts due to movement of flying birds. Seabird observations were recorded directly into a laptop computer using software Dlogv3 (R.G. Ford Consulting, Portland, OR) which logged the geographic coordinates of each sighting, as well as the track line and environmental conditions (sea state, glare, weather, ice coverage) at 20 sec intervals.; Data Quality Method: Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis..
