Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker, cruise RL-20-02, in the north Pacific Ocean off California from 2020-09-07 to 2020-09-10 (NCEI Accession 0231663)

Cruise RL-20-02 by NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker in 2020 had the objective to service moorings for the CCE (California Current Ecosystem) and CORC (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) projects. 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. The raw CTD data files will become available through the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program, and the water sample data through the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data Portal at NCEI. Data are in NetCDF.
