- Typically, during winter and spring CalCOFI cruises, 113 stations are occupied, time & weather-permitting. If lack of ship time or weather prevents completion of the entire pattern, the standard 75 stations pattern is occupied; lines north of Pt Conception (lines 73.3 to 60.0) are surveyed but the ship may only stops when fish egg density is high.
- Line 66.7 (67), off Monterey is part of the MBARI time-series with stations every 20nm and CTD casts to 1000m.
- See Station position page for latitude, longitude, and estimated bottom depth.
- Parameters measured include condutivity-temperature-depth (CTD) fitted with sensors to measure pressure, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, photosynthetically active radiation, fluorescence, and transmissivity. Analytical tests are conducted for salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll and phaeopigments, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, silicate and primary productivity. Net tows include the CalBOBL, manta tow, and pairovet.
See Station Work page for more information on typical station activities.
