Description

Temperature and water depth time series from intertidal, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 8-meter sites located nearshore Calumet Park, La Jolla, Southern California, April 2014 through November 2016.

Methods & Sampling

Current profilers, pressure sensors and temperature sensors mounted on bottom frames.

Refer to the following sampling reports for details:
NLT_spring2014_sampling_report.
NLT_fall2014_sampling_report
NLT_spring2015_sampling_report
NLT_fall2015_sampling_report
NLT_2016_sampling_report

Data Processing Description

Quality control and samples were averaged to a common hourly time base.

BCO-DMO processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- created toplevel file to serve multiple depths and seasons in one dataset
- combined temperature and depth data in order to report as a single dataset
- hour 24 is not a legal value in our system so changed all entries of hour=24 in the 2014 data to 23 and incremented the day; at the end of each month, incremented the month; and at end of year, incremented the year.
- changed NaN to nd (no data)
