The data described here were collected on LTER08 which took place from 2003-10-08 to 2003-10-17 on the RV Pt. Sur. Cruises have been conducted in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA, 3-4 times per year since March, 2001 and are approximately 7 days in length. There are 2 basic types of measurements: Underway measurements: fluorometry, salinity and temperature are collected at a depth of 3m with a flow-through system which also includes continuous atmospheric climate measurements. Underway acoustic dopler current profiles were collected using a NB 150kHz ADCP.
