Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen profile data collected via CTD casts from NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada in the Pacific Ocean along the U.S. West Coast during the West Coast Ocean Acidification cruise 2012 as Part of the North American Carbon Program from 2012-09-05 to 2012-09-16 (NCEI Accession 0099810)
One ASCII listing contains 1-dbar averaged CTD data. File cc112.lst contains 1-dbar averaged profiles of pressure, temperature, salinity, and oxygen data. Each profile has 8 lines of header information preceding the data listing. Profiles are appended one right after another.

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. |
