Physical Oceanography Off the Central California Coast during February and May-June, 1991: A Summary of CTD Data from Larval and Pelagic Juvenile Rockfish Surveys

摘要

Hydrographic conditions during a 7-day period in February 1991 in the areabounded by Pt. Lobos (36 degrees 30'N) and Pt. Reeves (38 degrees 10'N), California, from the coast to approximately 135 km offshore are summarized in a series of horizontal maps and vertical transects. In addition, hydrographic conditions, during three periods of approximately ten days each from mid-May through mid-June 1991 in the coastal ocean bounded by Cypress Pt. (36 degrees 35'N) and Pt. Reyes, California (38 degrees 10'N), and from the coast to about 75 km offshore, are also summarized. A total of 69 conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts were obtained during the David Starr Jordan cruise DSJ9102, while 240 standard casts were taken during cruise DSJ9105 over the course of three consecutive sweeps of the region.
