The CoOP RISE program collected CTD and water chemistry (macronutrients, chlorophyll) data during four cruises from 2004-2006 off the Oregon and Washington coast, centered on the Columbia River. CTD data are submitted separately to NODC by PI Barbara Hickey. The data included here are from discrete water samples collected by CTD Niskin bottle on R/V Wecoma.

Hourly maps of surface currents were made using SeaSonde HF systems deployed in northern Oregon and southern Washington on the Columbia River from June 2004 to December 2006. The instruments were operated near 5 MHz, which allowed long-range measurements of radial currents from each station. Where data from different stations overlapped, two-dimensional currents were produced by mapping to a fixed grid. Data quality measures including GDOP (geometric dilution of precision), are also included.

The content of the NODC Taxonomic Code, Version 8 CD-ROM (CD-ROM NODC-68) distributed by NODC is archived in this accession. Version 7 of the NODC Taxonomic Code (CD-ROM NODC-35), which does not include Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) Taxonomic Serial Numbers (TSNs), is also archived in this NODC accession.

Field data collection was conducted for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pacific Ocean, Honolulu (POH), during August 9 - September 14, 2005, off Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii. Wave and current Data were collected at five fixed locations using bottom-mounted RD Instruments Workhorse, 1.2 MHz, ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers) and Sontek Hydra ADVs (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters). The ADCPs include wave measurements.

The CoOP RISE program was designed to determine the impact of large river discharge on coastal shelf ecosystems. Macronutrient and chlorophyll data were collected as part of this project. Four cruises were completed during summers of 2004-2006 (two cruises in 2005).

Physical oceanographic data were collected from NOAA Navigation Response Team-1 in the Gulf of Mexico from 02 April 2008 to 22 May 2008. Sound velocity profiles were collected from sound velocimeter casts. Data are self documenting and are in plain ASCII text.

Zooplankton biomass data collected from Pacific Ocean in 1950 - 1961 years received from NMFS

This dataset contains zooplankton biomass displacement volumes sampled using zooplankton nets on various platforms by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977 to 1987 as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, & Prediction (MARMAP) and by the Ecosystem Monitoring-Research Vessel (EcoMON RV) program from 2000 to 2015. The accession contains biomass data in long and short format as it is available in the COPEPOD program.

Despite substantial interference from hurricanes Bonnie, Charley, and Katrina, Operations Deep-Scope 2004 and 2005 were extremely successful. In addition to numerous discoveries (e.g., fluorescent sharks, new large deep-sea squid, UV vision in deep-sea crabs, the importance of polarized light and bioluminescent searchlights), these expeditions developed several new technologies.
