Abstract
  • CTD observations were made over the continental shelf and upper continental slope from the coast to approximately 60 km off central California between latitudes 34°N and 37.5°N. The measurements were made by Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study sponsored by the Minerals Management Service. The objectives of this 18-month field program were to obtain a set of observations of the ocean water mass and velocity fields and develop a detailed description of these fields and their seasonal and shorter period variations. The ultimate goal is to assess the impact of exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources of the outer continental shelf region. This data report contains vertical profiles, horizontal maps at selected depths, and vertical sections of temperature, salinity, σ t, dynamic height and relative geostrophic velocity from a total of 73 CTD casts made between 24 January 1985 and 4 February 1985,
