The CoOP RISE program collected CTD and water chemistry (macronutrients, chlorophyll) data during four cruises from 2004-2006 off the Oregon and Washington coast, centered on the Columbia River. CTD data are submitted separately to NODC by PI Barbara Hickey. The data included here are from discrete water samples collected by CTD Niskin bottle on R/V Wecoma.

The CoOP RISE program was designed to determine the impact of large river discharge on coastal shelf ecosystems. Macronutrient and chlorophyll data were collected as part of this project. Four cruises were completed during summers of 2004-2006 (two cruises in 2005).

This dataset contains CTD data collected on nine cruises of R/V WECOMA along the northwest Pacific coastline by Adriana Huyer of Oregon State University School of Oceanography as part of the Slope Undercurrent Study from 7/27/77 to 9/19/78. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-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 1m. 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. A text record is available for comments.

The CoOP RISE program collected CTD and biological primary productivity, chlorophyll data during four cruises from 2004-2006 off the Oregon and Washington coast, centered on the Columbia River. CTD data are submitted separately to NODC by PI Barbara Hickey. The data included here are from discrete water samples collected by CTD Niskin bottle on R/V Wecoma. Surface, Profile, and Depth-Integrated primary productivity values were determined using radio-carbon with 24 hour deckboard incubations.

Temperature profile were collected using CTD casts from the R.V. WECOMA and other platforms in the coastal waters of Oregon and California from 28 January 1982 to 04 May 1983. Data were submitted by Oregon State University, US Navy; Ships of Opportunity, and National Marine Fisheries Service. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) and High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) formats. The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments.

This set of hydrographic casts are from two cruises. These cruises were part of a Department of Energy sponsored program entitled Pollutant Transport and Sediment Dispersal in the Washington-Oregon Coastal Zone. The program included CTD temperature, salinity, pressure and transmissivity observations. The focus of the study was investigate the effect of a narrow submarine canyon on the low-frequency mid-depth shelf circulation.

These CTD data were obtained during the NSF-sponsored RISE project during July 2004, June 2005, and May-June 2006, on the continental shelf off Oregon and Washington, USA, in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. The data were collected by towing a CTD attached to the towed Triaxus platform. The Triaxus was normally set to undulate between the ocean surface and a depth of 40 to 60m. Transects were obtained, ranging in length from a few km to over 60km.

Temperature profile, current meter, and chlorophyll data were collected using CTD casts from the R.V. WECOMA in the coastal waters of California and Oregon from 11 January 1983 to 18 April 1983. Data were collected and submitted by the Oregon State University. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format.
