INSTRUMENT USED:
Sea-Bird 9plus CTD profiler
Sea-Bird 3 temperature sensor
Sea-Bird 4 conductivity sensor
Sea-Bird 43 oxygen sensor

INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION:
- For the cruise of 5/14-6/12, 2007:
Sea-Bird 9plus CTD s/n 09P8431-0315 Last calibrated January 2007 by Sea-Bird, Inc. in Bellevue, WA Temperature, conductivity, and oxygen sensors are calibrated as needed.
- For the cruise of 8/12-8/30, 2011:
Sea-Bird 9plus CTD s/n 09P3450-0209 Last calibrated June 2011 by Sea-Bird, Inc. in Bellevue, WA Temperature, conductivity, and oxygen sensors are calibrated as needed.

DATA FORMAT:
Data from the cruise of 5/14-6/12, 2007 are stored in the file of 'we107.lst' (115 casts), and data from the cruise of 8/12-8/30 are stored in the files of 'we111.lst' (90 casts). These two files are comprised of multiple 1-dbar averaged CTD profiles of pressure (dbar), temperature (C, IPTS-68), salinity (PSS-78), and oxygen (umol/kg) data. Each profile contains 8 header records followed by a variable number of data records depending on the depth of the cast. Profiles are appended one right after another.

In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
Purpose The major objectives of the cruise were: 1) To characterize ocean acidification (OA) conditions on the U.S. west coast; 2) To conduct inter-calibration measurements near other OA observing assets, including gliders and moorings, in the study area, allowing inter-calibration of these autonomous assets with high-quality, ship-based measurements; 3) To provide calibration data needed to develop predictive models for aragonite saturation state, pH, and other important OA indicators in the California Current System, based on widely measured parameters such as salinity, temperature, and oxygen concentration; 4) To examine relationships between processes leading to OA and hypoxia in coastal ecosystems; 5) To conduct biological measurements in conjunction with physical and chemical OA measurements; and 6) To provide scientific information on OA conditions and trends for resource management and decision support.
