This data package includes wind data (e.g. wind speed, wind direction, wind velocity, air temperature, etc.) from 54 stations near Santa Barbara, CA since 1981. The wind data is collected from 3 agencies: Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, California Department of Water Resources, and National Data Buoy Center. The data collected from the National Data Buoy Center also include the water temperature data. This data package is expected to update annually. 

The SBC-LTER has access to data on seawater temperature collected at Santa Barbara Harbor, Santa Barbara, CA, USA through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Manual Shore Stations program. The SIO Manual Shore Stations program provides data and information about this shore station. For further information, please visit the SIO Manual Shore Stations website at https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb07606686. Please note: manual shore station data is updated periodically, not continuously.   Funding for the Shore Stations Program provided by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Natural Resources Division, Award# C22820005.

ADCP (Currents), CTD (Hydrography) and Optics data (Fluorescence, Beam Attenuation and Volume Scattering Function) were collected at Arroyo Quemado Reef in the Santa Barbara Channel (site ID: ARQ). Data have been interpolated to a 20 minute interval. ADCP data are binned at a 1.0 meter interval, measured as height from the bottom to a maximum of 16 bins. All bins may not be filled, and in some cases, data from bins technically above the surface are included. VSF data are available at angles, 100, 125 and 150 degrees. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Density and Fluorescence. The CTD array is located approximately 4.5 meters from the surface, and there are additional temperature thermistors near the CTD array, at the bottom, and mid way between these two. 

ADCP (Currents), CTD (Hydrography) and Optics data (Fluorescence, Beam Attenuation and Volume Scattering Function) were collected at Naples Reef in the Santa Barbara Channel (site ID: NAP). Data have been interpolated to a 20 minute interval. ADCP data are binned at a 1.0 meter interval, measured as height from the bottom to a maximum of 16 bins. All bins may not be filled, and in some cases, data from bins technically above the surface are included. VSF data are available at angles, 100, 125 and 150 degrees. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Density and Fluorescence.

ADCP (Currents), CTD (Hydrography) and Optics data (Fluorescence, Beam Attenuation and Volume Scattering Function) were collected at Carpinteria Reef in the Santa Barbara Channel (site ID: CAR). Data have been interpolated to a 20 minute interval. ADCP data are binned at a 0.5 meter interval, measured as height from the bottom to a maximum of 16 bins. All bins may not be filled, and in some cases, data from bins technically above the surface are included. VSF data are available at angles, 100, 125 and 150 degrees. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Density and Fluorescence. The CTD array is located approximately 4.5 meters from the surface, and there are additional temperature thermistors near the CTD array, at the bottom, and mid way between these two. 

CTD (Hydrography) data were collected at Santa Barbara Harbor (site ID: SBH). Data have been interpolated to a 20 minute interval. The CTD data for this site are harvested from SCCOOS (http://sccoos.org/) and processed in Matlab. 

ADCP (Currents), CTD (Hydrography) and Optics data (Fluorescence, Beam Attenuation and Volume Scattering Function) were collected at Mohawk Reef in the Santa Barbara Channel (site ID: MKO). Data have been interpolated to a 20 minute interval. ADCP data are binned at a 0.5 meter interval, measured as height from the bottom to a maximum of 16 bins. All bins may not be filled, and in some cases, data from bins technically above the surface are included. VSF data are available at angles, 100, 125 and 150 degrees. CTD parameters include Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Density and Fluorescence. The CTD array is located approximately 4.5 meters from the surface, and there are additional temperature thermistors near the CTD array, at the bottom, and mid way between these two. 

Calibrated pH (Total scale, SeaFET sensor) data was collected from 10 reefs in the Santa Barbara Channel along with in situ temperature. Most pH sensors are deployed together with SBC long-term mooring instruments. Data collection intervals and SeaFET sensor depths vary based on the site location. 

Dissolved oxygen (miniDOT sensors) data was collected from 6 reefs in the Santa Barbara Channel along with in situ temperature. Most dissolved oxygen sensors are deployed together with SBC long-term mooring instruments. Data collection intervals and miniDOT sensor depths vary based on the site location. 

{"Abstract":["Ocean in-situ temperature data were collected at nearshore sites\n along the Northern Channel Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel.\n The earliest temperature records started in April 2000. The\n temporal coverage varies at each site. At the start of the\n temperature data collection, the tidbit or hobo sensors were\n deployed on a mooring line at approximate 3 m, 9m, and 14 m\n nominal depths, and the sampling interval is 2 minutes. In 2013,\n the 3 m and 9 m temperature sensors were terminated and only 14 m\n sensors continued. In addition, the sampling interval changed to\n 15 minutes. This data package presents hourly average in-situ\n temperature data.\n \n \n The original raw data (2-min interval) between 2000-2010 were\n published on DataOne https://search.dataone.org/portals/PISCO.\n Data can be viewed and accessed by zooming in the Northern Channel\n Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel region and searching the\n keyword "physical oceanography moored temperature data".\n These datasets were funded and managed by The Partnership for\n Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO).\n \n \n In 2013, the maintenance of the sensor deployment was transferred\n to NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries, and Santa Barbara Coastal\n LTER has been responsible for data download and processing."]}
