Temperature profile and other data collected using bottle and CTD casts from the A. AGASSIZ and NOAA Ship DAVID STARR JORDAN from the Coastal Waters of California during the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CALCOFI) project, 26 January 1974 to 13 November 1975 (NODC Accession 8600370)

Oceanographic Station Data, temperature, and other data were collected using CTD and bottle casts from A. AGASSIZ and NOAA Ship DAVID STARR JORDAN from the Coastal Waters of California from November 26, 1974 to November 13, 1975. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CALCOFI) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data (SD2) and the Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) formats. Full format descriptions are available at nodc.noaa.gov/.

The Oceanographic Station Data format contains physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5 percent) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity- temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters and temperature and salinity , but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.

本数据集包含海洋站数据、水温及其他相关海洋学数据，采集于1974年11月26日至1975年11月13日期间，由AGASSIZ号与NOAA DAVID STARR JORDAN号考察船在加利福尼亚近岸海域，通过CTD（电导率-温度-深度仪，conductivity-temperature-depth）与采水器挂瓶采样完成。数据由斯克里普斯海洋研究所（Scripps Institution of Oceanography）提交，作为加利福尼亚合作渔业调查（California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation, CALCOFI）项目的组成部分。美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）已将该数据处理为符合NODC标准的海洋站数据格式（SD2）与通用深度温度计输出格式（Universal Bathythermograph Output, UBT），完整格式说明可通过nodc.noaa.gov查询。

海洋站数据格式包含在离散深度层级记录的物理-化学海洋学数据。多数观测采用多瓶南森采水器（multi-bottle Nansen casts）或其他类型水体采样装置完成；仅约5%的少量数据通过电子CTD或STD（盐度-温度-深度仪，salinity-temperature-depth）记录仪获取。不过，CTD/STD数据均按照与南森采水器数据一致的深度层级上报至NODC，并与南森采样数据采用相同流程进行处理与存储。每个测站均记录有科考信息（如考察船、所属国家与科研机构）、站位坐标、日期与时间。核心测量参数为温度与盐度，同时可能包含溶解氧、磷酸盐、总磷、硅酸盐、硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐及pH值数据。此外，采样时的气象条件（如气温、气压、风速、浪况），以及水体颜色（福勒-于勒色标，Forel-Ule scale）、水体透明度（塞氏盘深度，Secchi disk depth）与水深等辅助数据亦可被收录。研究人员可通过实测参数计算得到密度（sigma-t）、声速与动态深度异常值。每个测站既包含实测深度层级的观测数据，也包含经插值得到的标准深度层级数据集。
