Cruise Data Reports

CalCOFI Data Reports are a compilation of the physical, chemical, and biological data that is collected on our quarterly cruises.  For full CalCOFI Data Report PDF's click here  These reports include the following components:

Introductions

Contains the standard procedures, tabulated data descriptions, associated ancillary projects, footnote definitions, and literature cited.
 

Hydrographic Data Reports

Quarterly tabulated data reports.  The 70+ year dataset includes temperature, salinity, oxygen and phosphate observations. In 1961, nutrient analysis expanded to include silicate, nitrate and nitrite; in 1973, chlorophyll was added; in 2008, the nutrient analysis expanded to include ammonium.
 

Primary Productivity Data Reports

These are a subset of the quarterly tabulated data reports, containing only stations in which primary productivity experiments were carried out.  Includes hydrographic data along with primary productivity data.
 

Personnel

List of cruise personnel, dates, ports of call, ship name, and captain's name.
 

Zooplankton Biomass Report

Contains the Zooplankton biomass, as wet displacement volume, after removal of large (>5 ml) organisms from the starboard side of a 71 cm mouth diameter paired net (bongo net) equipped with 0.505mm plankton mesh; towed obliquely from 210 meters to the surface.
 

Spatial Pattern Figures

Contains vertical (line 90 only) and horizontal (10 and 200 meters along the standard CalCOFI grid) contour plotted hydrographic data.
 

Bird Figures

Quartely Avifauna distribution observations over the standard CalCOFI grid.
