Archive of moored and shipboard observations of the San Francisco Bay Plume interaction with Point Reyes
Shipboard and moored observations were conducted during Spring (Mar-Apr) 2022 in the Gulf of the Farallones, California, to study the interaction of the San Francisco Bay Plume with Pt. Reyes, a prominent cape. Two moorings were deployed, a “south mooring” and a “north mooring”, in the vicinity of Pt. Reyes, along the ~18m isobath. Both mooring contained a bottom mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, and conductivity-temperature probes (CTs) at 1 and 5 meters, and an additional CT at the south moooring at ~1 meter above the bottom. Shipboard transects using a Sea Science Acrobat, a towed platform equipped with a CTD, were conducted during the 13, 14 and 25 of March. All the metadata information necessary for the interpretation of the model outputs (dimensions, units, etc) is included inside the NetCDF files. The NetCDF files follow the CF conventions and can be opened with various software that are open source and freely available over the Internet.

Bathymetric data were collected during a total of 19 AUV Sentry dives conducted from R/V Atlantis and R/V Roger Revelle during 2018 Atlantis cruise AT42-06 (two dives); 2019 Atlantis cruise AT42-21 (ten dives); and, 2021 Revelle cruise RR2102 (seven dives). Track lines were spaced 170 m apart, with Sentry about 65 m above bottom, collecting multibeam data using a 400 kHz Reson 7125 system in 2018, and a 400 kHz Kongsberg EM2040 system in 2019 and 2021. Sentry navigation was obtained using a 300 kHz Teledyne Doppler velocity log (DVL) and a Sonardyne AvTrak2 ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic positioning system, combined with an iXblue Phins inertial navigation system (INS), and a Paroscientific 8B7000-I Digiquartz depth sensor. Sonar data from all 19 dives were processed together using the open-source MB-System software, and were gridded at 1 m × 1 m node resolution using a beam footprint calculated with the angular beam widths and weighted by local slope. The grid file is in GMT-compatible netCDF format, in un-projected geographic coordinates. Funding was provided by National Science Foundation awards OCE-1834797, OCE1949485, OCE-1948936, and OCE-1949938.more » « less

This dataset is comprised of processed and edited temperature and salinity profiles from the OOI (Ocean Observatories Initiative) Global Irminger Sea Array Apex profiler mooring from September 2014 to May 2020 (https://oceanobservatories.org/array/global-irminger-sea-array/). The original dataset (including physical units) is available at https://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org/data_access/?search=GI02HYPM-WFP02-00-WFPENG000. Methods: Vertical profile data were gridded using 5 m depth intervals taking the mean of upward and downward profiles. Salinity spikes were removed using a threshold of 0.01 over 5 m. Any salinity bins fresher than 34.72 were then removed. Salinity biases were corrected by referencing to a potential temperature of 2.5C, which was the deepest, most consistently sampled potential temperature of the dataset (Toole et al. 2017). The reference salinity at the reference isotherm was chosen to be 34.93 based on calibrated shipboard CTD measurements taken near the mooring on the OOI mooring service cruises from 2014 to 2019 (dataset references below). Salinity was calibrated by first subtracting the reference salinity from the raw value at the reference isotherm and then finding the ratio between this difference and the reference salinity. This gain correction was then multiplied by the full profile to produce the final salinity. The salinity is anchored to the reference salinity at the deep reference isotherm and this dataset should be used knowing that this is not necessarily realistic in this area of deep water mass formation. Caution should be used looking at properties near the reference isotherm. However, the salinity biases in the raw data are significant and without correction this time series is discontinuous whenever the mooring is replaced. The patterns in the upper part of the water column agree with nearby measurements (de Jong et al., 2023). Final Data: All data are included in a single NetCDF file, ‘OOI_Irm_HYPM_cal_21Mar2021_NCEIannotated_15Nov2023.nc’. The included fields are: time [days since 2000-01-01], depth [meters], practical salinity ‘sal’ [psu], in-situ temperature ‘temp’ [C], latitude [degrees north], and longitude [degrees east]. The Gibbs Seawater oceanographic toolbox (McDougall et al., 2011) was used to calculate all variables.more » « less

The High-resolution (6 kilometer (km)) Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (HIOMAS) is used to simulate the evolution of sea ice for the Arctic Ocean and adjacent areas, including the Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea, Greenland Sea, Baffin Bay, and waters along Northwest Passage, over the period 2010 to 2069. The hindcast and future forcing over the period is from one of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models, the CNRM-CM6-1-HR global climate model (GCM) run at the National Center for Meteorological Research, Météo-France and CNRS Laboratory (CNRM). Monthly mean sea ice thickness (meters (m)) is provided over 2010 to 2069 in NETCDF file format, with model grid information such as latitudes and longitudes of model grid cells included. I have archived future projection of monthly mean sea ice thickness files over 2010 to 2069 in https://pscfiles.apl.uw.edu/zhang/HIOMAS_6km/. The files are in netcdf format, which are created by running HIOMAS using the future projection forcing of the CNRM-CM6-1-HR GCM run conducted at the National Center for Meteorological Research, Météo-France and CNRS Laboratory (CNRM). Martin interpolated the forcing onto the new, expanded HIOMAS grid. There is a readme.txt file.more » « less

Two 2-year moorings were placed in the Bight Fracture Zone (BFZ), one in the north channel and one in the south channel, between July 2015 to July 2017. Each mooring was instrumented at four depths with a pair of instruments comprised of an SBE MicroCAT and a Nobska MAVS-4 Acoustic Current Meter. The four pairs of instruments were placed at 1500, 1750, 2000 meters depth and 22 meters above the bottom of the channel (2440 meters depth in the north channel and 2115 meters depth in the south channel). The initial processing for both the MicroCAT and MAVS-4 consisted of removing data collected while out of water, replacing data outliers with NaNs, and correcting drifts in the data. In addition, the MAVS-4 data were transformed from instrument coordinates to earth coordinates and magnetic declination was correction was applied.more » « less
