Hydrographic Data from the Pilot Study of the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) Program, 17-26 March 1987

Abstract

This is a data report which presents hydrographic (CTD) data from a cruise off central California during 17-26 March 1987. The study area was from Pt Reyes, CA to Pt St George, OR from the coast to 150 km offshore. A total of 96 CTD casts to 500 m and 55 XBT drops to 750 m were made. The data are presented as individual vertical profiles, horizontal distributions, and vertical sections. The data were collected as part of the ONR Coastal Transition Zone Program, to study cold filaments, squirts, jets, and mesoscale eddies off the central California coast. Keywords: Pressure, Salinity, Temperature, Density anomalies, Graphs.
