Temperature and salinity profiles from CTD casts in Coos Bay, Oregon and Grays Harbor, Washington, taken from charter/fishing boats as part of the Pacific Northwest Coastal Ecosystem Regional Study (PNCERS) from 1998-03-24 to 1998-12-06 (NODC Accession 0117837)

This data set was designed to address the physical variability in Pacific Northwest estuaries, the relationship between estuarine processes and the variability in the coastal ocean, and, in concert with fisheries components of Pacific Northwest Coastal Ecosystem Regional Study (PNCERS) - the sources of variability in year-class strength in several important marine species.
