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.

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an automated shore station with a suite of sensors that are attached to Newport Pier along the nearshore California coast. These automated sensors measure CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION, CONDUCTIVITY, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, SALINITY, WATER DENSITY and WATER TEMPERATURE 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. University of California, Irvine, collected the data and provided the data to SCCOOS, which assembles data from University of California, Irvine, 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 dataset contains raw tier 2 sampling data starting from 2011 for Texas coastal waters related to seagrasses. Parameters measured include chlorophyll a concentration, water depth, dissolved oxygen, light attenuation, pH, salinity, Secchi depth, water temperature, total suspended solids, seagrass canopy height, and seagrass percent cover. Typical species represented within the data include Halodule wrightii, Thalassia testudinum, Syringodium filiforme, Halophila engelmannii, and Ruppia maritima. Sampling takes place at 567 permanent stations in Aransas and Redfish Bays, Corpus Christi Bay, and Upper and Lower Laguna Madre. Latitudes and longitudes for station locations are based on the NAD83 datum. There was limited sampling in 2016. This dataset also includes opportunistic sampling in Little Bay, San Antonio Bay, and Galveston Bay, as well as analytically measured tissue content of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum plant samples collected from Aransas and Redfish Bays, Corpus Christi Bay, and the Laguna Madre along with stable isotope data from those samples. Data are provided in CSV format.

Graphical representation of seagrass density polygons in 1988 for Southwest Florida provided by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The data was interpreted from 1:24,000 natural color aerial photography by SWFWMD in 1988.

Seagrass biomass, density and morphometrics were measured at sites around Groote Eylandt and Albatross Bay in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Environmental data such as depth were also collected at a number of sites. Transect data was collected to give a qualitative assessment of these parameters.

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, collected the data from their in-situ Shell Point station in the Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean. Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), which assembles data from Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southeast United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. NCEI updates this dataset when new files are available.

This dataset contains raw TIER 2 sampling data from 2015 and 2017 for Texas coastal waters related to seagrasses. Seagrass parameters measured include canopy height and percent cover. Seagrass species represented within the data include Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum. Sampling takes place at 525 permanent stations in Aransas and Redfish Bays, Corpus Christi Bay, and the Upper and Lower Laguna Madre. Latitudes and longitudes for station locations are based on the NAD83 datum. There was no sampling in 2016. Additionally, this dataset also contains sediment data collected in Redfish Bay in 2011/2012 and 2017. Sediment parameters measured include total organic carbon, ammonium concentrations, and grain size. This dataset also includes interpolated wind speed data values using the recorded maximum sustained gusts of Hurricane Harvey. All data are provided in CSV format.
