The data include sea surface temperature, water temperature, salinity, beam attenuation coefficient, currents, and other measurements. To elucidate scales and forcing mechanisms of the circulation and water properties within Santa Monica/San Pedro basin. Funding: Department of Energy contract DE-FG05-85ER 60333 to B.
