Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) wave energy converter platform (WECP) buoy hydrographic data from 2020-07-31 to 2020-09-02 (NCEI Accession 0243687)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-12-05T00:00:00.000+00:00

This surface hydrographic data is from a CTD on a mooring line at a small coastal ocean observing site 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W), that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating since 2004. These data were collected as surface buoy wave energy converter platform (WECP) ~100 m north of the FOCAL mooring from 2020-07-30 to 2020-12-09. CTD samples at 60 minutes. CTD was at depth: 0.5 m
