This dataset contains zooplankton and ichthyoplankton distribution and abundance, sea surface and bottom water temperatures and salinities collected during the shelf-wide fisheries surveys for the Ecosystem Monitoring Program (EcoMon) from 1977-02-13 to 2023-11-15. The surveys are conducted 6-7 times per year over the continental shelf from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, using NOAA research ships or charter vessels. The Cape Hatteras to Cape Sable area is divided into four regions, and 30 randomly selected stations are targeted for sampling from each region.

We flew an oceanographic profiling lidar over sections of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas during the last half of July, 2017. The lidar returns were processed to obtain ice coverage and to identify subsurface phytoplankton layers. The identified layers were further analyzed to obtain their scattering strength relative to the background water value, their depth, and their thickness. Additional, power spectral density functions of selected transects over Barrow Canyon were calculated to investigate turbulence levels within the canyon.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and sound speed data collected for the OPR-J317-KR-18 project under contract with NOAA. Sea Bird Electronics SBE19plus CTD sensors were used for in-situ measurements through the water column. Casts were conducted at least once a day on board R/V C-Wolf and more often as needed. Dual CTDs were obtained periodically to ensure proper working order of sensors. Data are in ASCII (cnv) format.

This dataset contains scanned images of coral histological slides that were scanned into pyramidal tiled TIFF images (Aperio SVS file format). The slides have been collected by Bette Willis' and have been provided to NOAA for scanning. The dataset also includes histopathological descriptions and other metadata including location, date collected, genus, species, and contributor.

Raw data in the form of observations, measurements, GPS coordinates, and photographs were generated during every elevation survey. Beach surveys resulted in elevation data relative to a fixed supratidal starting point. Bi-monthly surveys as well as post storm surveys were completed in accordance with team availability and weather constraints. Furthermore, windows of surveying were chosen during ideal tidal and weather conditions. These data are organized by date of survey and transect name.

This dataset contains scanned images of coral histological slides that were scanned into pyramidal tiled TIFF images (Aperio SVS file format). The slides have been collected by Cheryl M. Woodley and have been provided to NOAA for scanning. The dataset also includes histopathological descriptions and other metadata including location, date collected, genus, species, and contributor.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Sally Ride, cruises SR1706 and SR1707, offshore California from 2017-03-05 to 2017-03-11. These cruises had, among others, the objective to service the CCE2 mooring (California Current Ecosystem). To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with water samples were done. The CTD data are reported here. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and sound speed collected/calculated for the OPR-J317-KR-18 project under contract with NOAA. Sea Bird Electronics SBE19plus CTD sensors were used for in-situ measurements through the water column. Casts were conducted at least once a day on board the research vessel Sea Scout and more often as needed. Dual CTD casts were acquired every time on the Sea Scout. For this particular project area, the research vessel C-Wolf collected only one cast; no additional cast was necessary. Data are in ASCII (cnv) format.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada, cruise SH-18-13, from 2018-11-12 to 2018-11-16. This cruise had the objectives to service moorings from the CCE (California Current Ecosystem) and CORC (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) projects. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with water samples were done. The CTD data are reported here. The CTD salinity and oxygen data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data.
