Abstract - 
The Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program
(Smith et al., 1995) completed a fifth season 
of sampling at Palmer Station.
The Palmer LTER sampling strategy combines seasonal 
time series data from the nearshore Palmer grid 
and seabird observations from nesting sites near Palmer Station 
with annual cruises which cover a regional grid along the western 
Antarctic Peninsula.  The LTER January cruise (PD96-01) 
visited the inshore stations five times to provide continuity in
the seasonal record (Vernet and Baker, this issue).
