        abstract:  This collection includes netCDF format data collected by Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary (CBNMS), Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS), and Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) to understand the physical processes at Cordell Bank (CBNMS), Bodega Head (GFNMS), Southeast Farallon Island (GFNMS), and Double Point (GFNMS), and their potential effects on marine ecology.
        purpose:  The project goals were: (1) to monitor and document physical and biological conditions, (2) to increase understanding of the relationship between upwelling / productivity and physical forcing, and (3) to educate the public about oceanic processes, in and around the Cordell Bank and Gulf of Farallones National Marine Sanctuaries.
