Extracted chlorophyll a, normalized to filtered volume, from suspended particulate material collected via Niskin bottle from the Gulf of California in the summers of 2004, 2005, and 2008, as well as from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific in 2008.

This dataset contains physical and meteorological data collected from non-Federal stations throughout the Southern California region of the United States. The data is predominantly long time series at fixed moorings and buoys with a variety of instruments including CTDs, fluorometers, oxygen sensors, optical turbidity sensors, pH sensors, and water quality sensors. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), which assembles data from sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.

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