NOS historical circulation survey data restoration : Casco Bay (1979), Los Angeles and Long Beach (1983), San Diego (1983), and Miami (1985)

"The purpose of this report is to document the restoration of the National Ocean Service (NOS) historical circulation survey data in Casco Bay (1979), Los Angeles and Long Beach (1983), San Diego (1983), and Miam i (1985). Previous computer programs developed for restoring Delaware River and Bay circulation su rvey data (2006) were used to analyze conductivity, temperature and current (CT/Curren t) data (Richardson and Schmalz, 2006). There were no CTD profile data available. Based on plots of salinity, temperature, current speed and direction at CT/Current moorings, temperature, salinity and current speed and direction data quality were assessed. Problematic time series were indicated in the dataset tables. Meteorological data (sea level atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and wind speed and wind direction) were either not collected or not considered due to data issues. This report is meant to serve as the circulation survey report for Casco Bay, Los Angeles and Long Beach, San Diego, and Miami"--Abstract. Philip H. Richardson, Richard A. Schmalz, Jr. "June 2012."
