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.
