US Navy/Naval Postgraduate School tarago@nps.edu author US Navy/Naval Postgraduate School author tableDigital Following in a long tradition of hydrographic studies of the California Current system, the data in this report were collected during the 27-30 March 2012 cruise of the Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS) program aboard the R/V Point Sur. The PaCOOS program was organized in 2003/2004 as the NOAA west coast contribution to the national Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), and is charged with "providing ocean information for the sustained use of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem under a changing climate. PaCOOS cruises generally subsample the standard California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) grid of hydrographic stations. This PaCOOS cruise did exactly that, sampling along CalCOFI line 67 from Moss Landing, California, to station 90 (CTD casts 1-19). To increase the resolution of the hydrographic data and to maintain the convention of similar recent PaCOOS cruises, eight CTD casts were also inserted between the standard CalCOFI sites along line 67. Participants on the cruise came from the Naval Postgraduate School (Physical Oceanography, Nutrient Analysis), the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (Nutrient Analysis, Primary Productivity), University of California at Santa Cruz (Zooplankton Analysis), and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (Nutrient Analysis). This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed 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:0098772 Preview graphic PNG 0098772 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2012-10-16 publication CHLOROPHYLL A CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - OBSERVATION DISSOLVED OXYGEN FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE NUTRIENTS PHAEOPIGMENTS PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY SALINITY SIGMA-THETA TRANSMISSIVITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bathythermograph - XBT CTD fluorometer laboratory analysis net oxygen sensor PAR Sensor salinometer transmissometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical laboratory analyses physical plankton profile tows theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS POINT SUR platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute Moss Landing Marine Laboratories University of California - Santa Cruz US Navy/Naval Postgraduate School dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS US Navy/Naval Postgraduate School dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary North Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOD/USNAVY/NPS > Naval Postgraduate School, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Defense MBARI > Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute MLML > Moss Landing Marine Laboratories 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.

PAR Sensor PAR Sensor Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6.
