From the transcript
Obviously, there's a lot more environmental data out there that we could use from Alaskan waters, Canadian waters, but this is just more specifically from stations that were tested for near-bottom temperature on the, on the survey. And then also, we overlapped the Pacific Decadal Oscillation Index values. With the Coastwide A50 maturity. And as you can see, this does trend pretty well with the increase, as well as the decrease in the Coastwide A50 values. So, this is something that we could definitely look at a lot closer to see whether or not, you know, because the PDA— PDO is a lot more broad scale, you know, like Pacific Ocean Basin effects.
