Northern North Pacific Regional Climatology version 2 (NCEI Accession 0283566)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-11-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
The Northern North Pacific (NNP) is a resource-rich coastal zone with abundant fisheries and other material resources. The NNP Regional Climatology version 2 replaces the previous version of the NNP RC published in 2013. This NNP Regional Climatology (NNP RC) is based on almost seventy years of observations, and it incorporates a significant amount of data not previously available to the public. The NNP RC version 2, covering a longer time range of seven decades compared to six decades in v 1. This update is especially important for further improving our understanding the most recent ocean climate change in this region.
