Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the north Pacific Ocean off California from 2021-06-13 to 2021-06-18 (NCEI Accession 0251388)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-04-11T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the north Pacific Ocean off California. Cruise RB-21-02 in June 2021 had the objective to service moorings for the CCE (California Current Ecosystem) project, as well as the CORC (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) project. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with water samples were done. The CTD data are reported here. The CTD data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. Additional cruise data files are available through the NOAA Rolling Deck to Repository program (R2R, see references under 'Documentation' bullet on this dataset landing page), and the water sample data are published separately through the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data Portal at NCEI (also in references). The raw instrument data (*.xmlcon and *.hex files from the software by Sea-Bird Scientific) are also available. Processed data are in NetCDF and also in CNV format.
