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, 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). Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), 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. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. onGoing historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:IOOS-SCCOOS Preview graphic PNG 0157016 0157034 0157035 0157036 0166465 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2020-02-02 publication CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - OBSERVATION DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC) HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE partial pressure of carbon dioxide - water SALINITY WATER DENSITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS conductivity sensor CTD - moored CTD fluorometer oxygen sensor pH sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical physical time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Scripps Institution of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System University of California, Irvine University of California, Los Angeles University of California, Santa Barbara dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers Data Stewardship Program project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of California North Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication IOOS > Integrated Ocean Observing System, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
