This dataset includes CTD data collected using vertical casts at fixed locations on the R/V New Horizon cruise CaBS7 in the northeast Pacific Ocean off of the California coast from Oct. 16, 1987 to Oct. 23, 1987. The data were collected as part of the Southern California Bight Basin Study by Dr. Barbara Hickey, University of Washington, School of Oceanography.

Measurements taken in the eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California in 1999.

Microfiche publication of the Mississippi Delta Bight Studies, Offshore Primary Production (R/E-5), Louisiana Sea Grant Program, was submitted by R.E. Turner and R.L. Allen from Louisiana State University. The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected on NOAA Ship OREGON cruises 57, 60, 62 and 64 from March 1975 to February 1976 (Ref. number l01012), and on the EASTWARD cruise E-1-J-77 from April to May 77 (Ref. number l01011) in Gulf of Mexico. The following publications are included: Sea Grant Publication LSU-T-77-003 through LSU-T-77-007.

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an automated shore station with a suite of sensors that are attached to Burkolator, Carlsbad Aquafarm, along the nearshore California coast. These automated sensors measure DEPTH - OBSERVATION, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), SALINITY, WATER TEMPERATURE and partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water at frequent intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean. These data can provide local and regional information on mixing and upwelling, land run-off, and algal blooms. Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) collected the data and provided the data to SCCOOS, which assembles data from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southern California Coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. The data are made available in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Each quarter, NCEI adds to this dataset the data collected or updated during the previous quarter.

Data were collected from 6 component projects from Tomales Bay, California, from 19 March 1987 to 21 September 1996. Data were collected as part of the Land Margin Ecosystem Research (LMER) Project and the Biogeochemical Reactions in Estuaries (BRIE) Project. The component projects were biotic variables in the water column, water composition, dissolved load water composition, particulate load composition, sediment nutrient fluxes, and water temperature with descriptive text.

Following in a long tradition of hydrographic studies of the California Current system, the data in this report were collected during the 27-30 March 2012 cruise of the Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS) program aboard the R/V Point Sur. The PaCOOS program was organized in 2003/2004 as the NOAA west coast contribution to the national Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), and is charged with "providing ocean information for the sustained use of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem under a changing climate. PaCOOS cruises generally subsample the standard California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) grid of hydrographic stations. This PaCOOS cruise did exactly that, sampling along CalCOFI line 67 from Moss Landing, California, to station 90 (CTD casts 1-19). To increase the resolution of the hydrographic data and to maintain the convention of similar recent PaCOOS cruises, eight CTD casts were also inserted between the standard CalCOFI sites along line 67. Participants on the cruise came from the Naval Postgraduate School (Physical Oceanography, Nutrient Analysis), the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (Nutrient Analysis, Primary Productivity), University of California at Santa Cruz (Zooplankton Analysis), and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (Nutrient Analysis).

The accession contains several data sets collected during cruise P921 of the R/V Pelican as part of the Mississippi River Plume Hydrographic Study. Data submitted to NODC in delimited ASCII. One data set contains CTD (Depth, Conductivity, and Temperature data); file(s) also include salinity, dissolved oxygen, backscatter, transmissometer (turbidity), and pressure. This data does not include header information and was not able to be processed in a standard NODC format. Another data set contains Oxygen and Hypoxia data. Data was exported for NODC in delimited ASCII and is in spread sheet format. Third data set contains ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) data collected as part of LATEX (Louisiana-Texas) project. Data was exported for NODC in delimited ASCII. Fourth data set contains Chlorophyll (CHL), Phaeophytin, Salinity, Temperature, and Secchi Disc data. Data was exported for NODC in delimited ASCII and is in spread sheet format. Fifth data set contains Zooplankton data. All the data in this accession is considered INTERIM data; the originator's documentation and file record do not fully correlate with the actual number of files and data types submitted. Final data report was expected to be available by 08/31/93. Principal Investigator: Minerals Management Service/ Louisiana State University Institute: TX-LA Shelf Physical Oceanography Project/ Louisiana State University.

The accession contains Wave Surface Data collected in Coastal Waters of California between March 13, 1975 and May 25, 1975. Water surface elevation data was collected during the "Sea Test Program of a Tension Leg Platform" conducted by Deep Oil Technology, Inc., on station at the seaward side of Santa Catalina Island offshore southern California. The data consists of 25 records of water surface elevations about an arbitrary baseline at six locations around the tension leg platform (TLP). Each record is approximately 40 minutes long, collected at 0.5 second recording intervals. Data were collected with IEC Resistance wave staffs and low pass filtered at 0.25 Hz before recording. Data were originally recorded in binary. The number of probes (6) were selected in order to have a large enough number of probes to perform directional spectral analyses even if a probe failed. In some records, one or two of the probes are inconsistent with the others; this is believed to be due to temporary fouling. The data was submitted by Mr. Leonardo Perez. The documentation describes the record format and includes a diagram of the platform location and six probe locations. A sample printout of the data are also included.
