An Atlas of the Hydrographic Stations off Point Sur, California April 1988-April 1991.

The California Current system off Monterey, California: physical and biological coupling

“…During the period from April 1988 to April 1991, sampling occurred from station 80 (35 47.2 0 N, 124 11.7 0 W) into Monterey Bay where the position of inshore stations varied (Rago et al, 1997). Note that there was a 3-month delay to the second cruise in July 1989 and that during the first year there were few observations farther than 170 km from shore.…”

“…Methods used to collect hydrographic data were given by Rago et al (1997) for 1988-1991and Asanuma et al (1999 for subsequent cruises. A NBISt Mk IIIb CTD was used for the earlier effort and a SeaBirdt 911 for the latter period.…”

Nutrient variability during El Niño 1997–98 in the California current system off central California

“…Stations were separated by 20 nautical mile intervals except close to the coast, where the stations were more closely spaced. Hydrographic sampling methods for these cruises have been described by Tisch, Ramp, and Collins (1992); Rago, Locke, and Collins (1997) and Collins, Garfield, Rago, Rischmiller, and Carter (2000).…”
