Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), temperature, salinity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a and phaeo pigment measured by discrete water samples and CTD for calibration and validation of California Current Ecosystem (CCE) mooring timeseries from 2015-11-17 to 2021-06-18 (NCEI Accession 0249587)

This dataset consists of discrete profile data collected data small ships near the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) mooring in the North pacific Ocean from 2015-11-17 to 2021-06-18. California Current Ecosystem moorings (CCE1 and CCE2) are surface buoys equipped with interdisciplinary scientific sensors including surface water and air pCO2, meteorological sensors (wind, air temperature, humidity, and air pressure), sea water temperature, salinity, currents, dissolved oxygen, pH, nutrients, and chlorophyll fluorescence. CCE1 is located offshore in the core of the California Current (CalCOFI station 80.80), and CCE2 is closer to shore on the shelf break near Point Conception (CalCOFI station 80.55). CCE moorings measure physical, biological, and chemical variables with temporal resolutions high enough to resolve event-scale phenomena, and transmit real-time data to shore. Annual cruises are conducted to recover and the moorings. During these cruises, CTD casts are performed with water samples of salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, silicate, phosphate, and ammonium), chlorophyll-a, and phaeopigment. This data file reports the discrete water sample results as well as CTD temperature and salinity values where the bottle samples were taken.
