Seawater temperature and salinity observed from the CORC3 and CORC4 moorings in the southern California Current (NE Pacific) from 2012-08-31 to 2020-09-15 (NCEI Accession 0163206)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:59 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 09, 2022 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains temperature and salinity observations from instruments on the CORC3 and CORC4 moorings in the southern California Current (2012 to 2020), part of the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, under a grant from NOAA. The instruments were clamped along the mooring wire and carried sensors for conductivity, temperature, and some also pressure (CTD). These data are included in this archive package, along with interpolated pressures for instruments without such sensors and derived salinity. Data have undergone post-calibration and quality control, and quality flags are included. The original data submission contains one data file per deployment. Data files are in NetCDF format.
