This dataset contains physical data collected at shoreside Calif_shore during deployment QuIPP_2016 from 2016-06-10 to 2016-06-27. These data include water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Temperature Logger. These data were collected by Andrew J Lucas and Peter Franks of University of California-San Diego as part of the "Quantifying plankton dynamics in the internal tide using swarms of buoyancy-controlled robots (QuIPP)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-02.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Dataset Description:
Temperature from a thermistor chain deployed along a 30m depth contour at Mission Beach, CA in June of 2016. Water temperatures are measured values at each instrument height, interpolated on a common time grid.

The default data format served through the BCO-DMO data system is tabular. These data are available to download as matrices in NetCDF (.nc) and Matlab (.mat) files in the "Data Files" section of this page.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
A vertical array of thermistors was deployed on the 30-m depth contour off Mission Beach, CA in line with Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) stations. For more information about IWAVES stations see Lerczark, 2001. Thermistors were spaced 1-m apart in the vertical. One thermistor was added at the surface. See Tchain30_MooringSchematic.pdf for a diagram of the thermistor configuration and serial numbers. Depth values in this schematic are the target deployment depths and vary from the measured values due to tidal fluctuations.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
