  • 75 station pattern occupied during CalCOFI cruises since 1985 (Hayward, T.L., et al. 1999) with the 9 SCCOOS stations added in July 2004.
    See
    Station position page and SCCOOS page for station coordinates.
  • Pattern occupied during summer and fall cruises.
  • 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.
