Science Objectives | |
The California Current is a region of large ecological significance and known sensitivity to climate forcing. Climate processes, complex physical systems, carbon and nutrient chemistry, and ecosystem dynamics all interact to create a rich, societally important, and scientifically fascinating ocean environment off the west coast of the US. This project establishes a unique highly multidisciplinary mooring presence in the southern California Current: two moorings, called CCE(California Current Ecosystems)-1 and -2 are located in the core of the California Current and in the upwelling regime on the continental slope, respectively, along CalCOFI line 80, and measure: • atmospheric conditions (CO2, wind, temperature, humidity, precipitation, irradiance), • surface ocean conditions (temperature, salinity, pCO2, O2, pH, currents, point and integrated measures of phytoplankton chlorophyll content over the euphotic zone, and nitrate supply), and mixed-layer depth, • broad-band active-acoustic observations of zooplankton and fish biomass over the upper 300m. The overarching science objectives are to: 1. Study the time variability of physical conditions and its forcing on time scales from days to years. 2. Observe the impact of physical variability on biogeochemical and ecosystem processes and conditions. 3. Relate environmental habitat conditions to fisheries quantities. | |

Science Activities | |
Cruise activities: 1. Recover a coastal mooring off Del Mar. 2. Recover the CCE1 mooring. 3. Recover the CCE2 mooring. 4. Re-deploy the (new/refurbished) CCE1 mooring. 5. Re-deploy the (new/refurbished) CCE2 mooring. 6. Collect CTD cast data with water samples for calibration/validation (cal/val) of the mooring data. 7. Collect standard underway data for cal/val and as background site information, esp. ship ADCP, thermosalinograph, and meteorology instruments. | |
