The expedition by research vessel New Horizon from 15 to 20 December 2009 had the objective to recover and re-deploy a number of moored platforms off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, 7 CTD casts were done, data of which are reported here. The data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using water sample data, and the raw CTD data files are included as well. The water sample data are available separately at NCEI under accession number 0146024.

The expedition by research vessel New Horizon from 19 to 22 September 2008 had the objective to deploy a number of moored platforms for the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, four CTD casts with salinity water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data files are included for completeness as well.

The expedition by research vessel Ocean Starr on Aug. 31 and Sept. 01, 2012 had the objective to recover and re-deploy a number of moored platforms from the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, three CTD casts and a small number of salinity water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data files are included for completeness as well.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of "Search for direct evidence of sulphur quenching of biomass, etc." project funded by NSF grant OCE 9203292. Data was collected from Ships NEW HORIZON, POINT SUR and WECOMA. The data was collected over a period spanning from October 2, 1993 to April 12, 1994. CTD data from 12 stations was submitted in three diskettes by Dr. Frederick Prahl of Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR.

This dataset includes CTD data and associated documentation, provided by Dr. Bill Fredericks, for Dr. Barbara Hickey, University of Washington, School of Oceanography. The data was collected on stations in coastal California waters as part of the Southern California Bight Study (CaBS).

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of Fieberling Seamount project. Data was collected from Ship NEW HORIZON. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 19, 1989 and September 1, 1989. Data was submitted in three diskettes by Dr. Gunnar Roden, University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1 m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t) and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals.
