SBC LTER: Meteorological and sea surface data from the R/V Pt. Sur Underway Data Acquisition System (UDAS) in the Santa Barbara Channel: LTER16, 2006-04-26 to 2006-05-03

The data described here were collected on LTER16 which took place from 2006-04-26 to 2006-05-03 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 doppler current profiles were collected using a RDInstruments Workhorse 300kHz and RDInstruments Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP.
