Description

These are processed CTD data from the OCE1504A cruise, Molecular Underpinnings of Silicification in the California Current (MUSiCC), including fluorometry and dissolved O2.

Methods & Sampling

Data were collected using a CTD fitted with a variety of sensors. See the event log for more details: DOI: 10.1575/1912/bco-dmo.651685.1

Data Processing Description

DMO notes:
BCO-DMO made the following modifications to the data display:
-Edited column names to meet BCO-DMO standards
-Added ISO date time column
-Added lat/lon coordinates using those found in the event log
