Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) hydrographic data from mooring (2018-12-12 to 2019-05-16) (NCEI Accession 0242873)

The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of hydrographic properties (temperature and salinity) of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This hydrographic data is from CTDs and thermistors on a mooring line at a small coastal ocean observing site 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W), that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating since 2004. These data were collected from December 12 2018 to May 16 2019.

The thermistors sample every minute and are located at ~7.1; 9.5; 11.0; 13.2; and 16.1m.
CTDs are located ~4.5; 19.2; and 20.1 m. Bottom CTD includes ODO.

海洋学领域通常收集海洋环境水文特性（温度和盐度）的时间序列数据。此类数据对于建立海洋和河口生态系统的基础特征至关重要。这些水文数据源自位于阿拉巴马州莫比尔湾入口西南方向25公里处的一个小型沿海海洋观测站系泊线上CTD和热敏电阻，该观测站由多芬岛海洋实验室自2004年起运营。这些数据收集于2018年12月12日至2019年5月16日。热敏电阻每分钟采样一次，位于约7.1、9.5、11.0、13.2和16.1米处。CTD位于约4.5、19.2和20.1米处。底部CTD包括溶解氧（ODO）的测量。
