This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an automated shore station with a suite of sensors that are attached to Scripps 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. Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) collected the data and provided the data to SCCOOS, which assembles data from Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) at 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.
