Physical, Nutrient, and Biological Measurements of Coastal Waters off Central California in October 2008

Abstract

The results of analyses of hydrographic, nutrient, and biological data collected in coastal ocean waters off Central California in October 2008 aboard the R/V Point Sur are presented in both tabular and graphical form. The cruise departed from and returned to Moss Landing, California. Hydrographic stations were completed along CalCOFI Line 67 to station 90, thence along CalCOFI Line 60 from station 75 shoreward to Drake's Bay. An additional 3 coastal stations at which hydrographic and nutrient data only were collected were completed between Drake's Bay and Moss Landing. Marine mammal observations were maintained throughout the cruise, and the results of those observations are presented here also. Ancillary ADCP, Underway Data Acquisition System (UDAS), and AVHRR satellite data are also presented.
