Physical, Nutrient, and Biological Measurements of Coastal Waters off Central California in July 2010

Abstract

The results of analyses of hydrographic, nutrient, and biological data collected in coastal ocean waters off Central California in July 2010 aboard the NOAA Ship McArthur-II are presented in both tabular and graphical form. The cruise departed from San Francisco, California, and proceeded offshore along CalCOFI Line 60 to station 90, thence southeastward to CalCOFI Line 67 at station 90, and finally shoreward along CalCOFI Line 67 to Moss Landing, California. Additionally, hydrographic and nutrient data from data collected in Monterey and Carmel Bays after completion of the track described above are presented here. Marine mammal observations were maintained throughout the cruise and are also presented here. Finally, ancillary Underway Data Acquisition System (UDAS) meteorological and surface oceanographic data are also included in this report.
