Physical and meteorological data collected from non-federal stations assembled by the Central and Northern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS)

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from non-Federal stations throughout the Central and Northern California region of the United States, from Point Conception north to the California-Oregon border. 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, meteorological 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). Central and Northern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS), 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.
