The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI)

이 데이터셋의 설명이 없습니다

Measurements made along the California coast in 2002.

Measurements made off the San Diego, Californian coast in 2007.

Measurements made under the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTER) California Current Ecosystem (CCE) program between 2006 and 2008.

Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)

Measurements made near Baja California and the Gulf of California in 2003.

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.

This layer is intended to represent the geographic extent of NOAA Fisheries’ California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations Survey. NOAA’s portion of California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) started in 1949 and is led by NMFS Southwest Fisheries Science Center. This survey is managed by the Fisheries Oceanography Program, composed of the Ichthyoplankton Ecology and Ship Operations groups. These groups work to contribute to the understanding of the effects of climate change and climate variability on pelagic fisheries. Alongside informing management decisions and publishing long-term datasets, the fisheries oceanography program also tracks long-term trends in key habitat variables, assesses stock-recruit and temperature-recruitment relationships for sardine assessments and updates environmental indices. The ship operations group averages 100-120 days at sea annually. Approximately 80 percent of that time is dedicated to the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations program collecting data through cruises. Surveys collect biological data via trawls, acoustic monitoring, and plankton sampling.
