Seawater temperature and salinity observed from the CORC1 and CORC2 moorings in the southern California Current (NE Pacific) from 2008-09-20 to 2012-11-14 (NCEI Accession 0137858)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2016-06-02T00:00:00.000+00:00
Temperature and salinity observations from instruments on the CORC1 and CORC2 moorings in the southern California Current, part of the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, under a grant from NOAA. The instruments were clamped along the mooring wire and carried sensors for conductivity, temperature, and some pressure (CTD). These data are presented here, along with interpolated pressures for instruments without such sensors, and derived salinity. Data have undergone post-calibration and quality control, and quality flags are included. There were two deployments of each of the two moorings in the 2008-2012 time period; each file contains all data from one of these deployments.
