Oceanographic data collected from station Stearns Wharf in the Coastal Waters of California by Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara, and assembled by Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) Regional Association from 2005-09-16 to 2020-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0157036)

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an automated shore station with a suite of sensors that are attached to Stearns Wharf along the nearshore California coast. These automated sensors measure CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION, CONDUCTIVITY, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, SALINITY, WATER DENSITY and WATER TEMPERATURE at frequent intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean. These data can provide local and regional information on mixing and upwelling, land run-off, and algal blooms. Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara, collected the data and provided the data to SCCOOS, which assembles data from Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara, and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southern California Coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. The data are made available in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Each quarter, NCEI adds to this dataset the data collected or updated during the previous quarter.

本数据集涵盖从加州近岸海域斯登斯码头（Stearns Wharf）搭载的自动化岸基监测站成套传感器所采集的海洋学与地面气象数据。该自动化传感器以高频采样间隔在近岸海域测量叶绿素a浓度（CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION）、电导率、观测水深、静水压力、盐度、海水密度与海水温度。此类数据可为局地与区域的海洋混合、上升流、陆地径流及藻华相关研究提供支撑数据。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校海洋科学研究所（Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara）采集了本数据集，并将其提交至南加州海岸海洋观测系统（Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, SCCOOS）；该系统整合了加州大学圣巴巴拉分校海洋科学研究所与美国南加州海岸其他次区域海岸及海洋观测系统的数据，并作为综合海洋观测系统数据汇编中心（Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers, IOOS DACs）数据管理计划的组成部分，将数据提交至国家环境信息中心（National Centers for Environmental Information, NCEI）。本数据集以netCDF格式文件对外发布，其元数据遵循《气候与预报元数据约定》（Climate and Forecast Metadata Convention, CF）与《数据发现属性约定》（Attribute Convention for Data Discovery, ACDD）。国家环境信息中心（NCEI）每季度将上一季度采集或更新的数据并入本数据集。
