Oceanographic data collected from non-federal stations assembled by the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS)
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.
