In the southeastern Bering Sea, the seasonal variations in the concentration of methane are large, as shown in Table 1. 

III. Even if the wind had no effect on the methane transfer flux, the seasonal variation in the concentration alone would predict a factor of 3.5 between the spring minimum and fall maximum.

Distributions of dissolved methane in the southeastern Bering Sea were made in 1975-76 and again 1980-81. These observations show large seasonal and inter-annual variations that appear to be related to the magnitude and timing of primary production.
