abstract: The California Current System (CCS) is a highly complex upwelling system supporting productive fisheries and high biodiversity, but it is vulnerable to warming, deoxygenation, and acidification. Data fragmentation and limited data availability constrain our understanding of when and where stressful coastal conditions manifest. Here, we present a large synthesis of compiled, formatted, and quality-controlled publicly available temperature, dissolved oxygen, and carbonate-system observations to create an accessible, high-resolution database for mapping marine climate stress in U.S. waters along the CCS. Only direct observations were included in this synthesis; no calculated data was retained. The synthesis includes 71 distinct data sources with observations from high resolution autonomous sensors, synoptic oceanographic cruises, and shore samples. Data has been organized across 16.2 million rows and 41 columns. Each row includes one or more individual oceanic parameter measurements accompanied by a dataset ID, which ties observations to their sources in the accompanying dataset Metadata Table, spatial and temporal information about the observations, the data collection method (cruise, mooring, etc.), and a habitat tag to identify estuarine datasets. Rows also include temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, carbonate-system, nutrient, and chlorophyll observations as available, along with quality flags and data collection methods for each included observation. Overall, this synthesis includes 15.9 million temperature observations, 5.0 million salinity, 3.9 million dissolved oxygen, 2.3 million pH, 8,368 dissolved inorganic carbon, 10,144 total alkalinity, and 505,000 pCO2/fCO2 observations, with limited additional chlorophyll and nutrient observations. A summary dataset that provides daily averages of observations by location, depth, and project is also available (aggregated_daily_dataset.csv), along with geographic subsets of the full dataset. This synthesis dataset has been optimized for high-resolution coastal multiparameter investigations and will provide a valuable tool for assessing regional and local climate risk, evaluating the efficacy and completeness of CCS monitoring efforts, and investigating spatiotemporal scales of coastal oceanographic variability.
purpose: Improve access to coastal acidification and hypoxia observations for the U.S. West Coast for high-resolution spatiotemporal stress and risk analyses.

type: carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer
description: measures gaseous carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide gas analyzer has often been referred to as LI-COR, because a lot of researchers choose to use products manufactured by LI-COR incorporation for their carbon dioxide measurement. The main component of a carbon dioxide analyzer is a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopic sensors to detect CO2 in a gaseous environment by its characteristic absorption. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas analyzer works together with carbon dioxide (CO2) equilibrator (insttypes_id 184) to measure carbon dioxide in the water. To measure water carbon dioxide, water needs to be continuously supplied to a showerhead inside an equilibrator. As the water flows through the equilibrator chamber, dissolved carbon dioxide exchanges quickly with air in the headspace. This air is then sampled by the carbon dioxide analyzer to determine the mole fraction of CO2 in water.
