This collection includes separate data sets of atmospheric aerosol submicron particle composition that include organic functional group concentrations at locations within the Arctic. Measurements include analysis of ambient aerosol particles sampled on Teflon filters that were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR, Bruker Tensor 27) spectroscopy in a temperature and humidity controlled clean room. The FTIR spectrum for each filter was analyzed with an automated algorithm that baselined the spectra. Absorptivity and molar masses were used to convert peak area at specific wavenumbers to mass for the organic functional groups: hydroxyl, alkane, amine, carboxylic acid, and carbonyl. The total organic …

This collection contains meteorology, wave, and current data from Wave Glider Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) gathered in a series of field deployments conducted off the coast of Southern California from May 2020 to December 2021. Our approach involved operations in close proximity to fixed National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP), and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) moored buoy assets, which provided ground-truth data to characterize the quality of the Wave Glider measurements over a range of field conditions. Please refer to Amador et al., 2022 (in review) for more information on processing and motion compensation routines.

This collection contains the lifecycles of global atmospheric river (AR) objects. This data was produced by isolating regions of enhanced IVT transport events by applying the Atmospheric River-CONNected objECT (AR-CONNECT) algorithm. AR-CONNECT is a four-dimensional (4D) object-oriented algorithm, adapted from the CONNECT algorithm developed by a team of researchers from the University of California, Irvine [Sellars et al., 2013, 2015, 2017]. The algorithm uses a seeded region growing segmentation technique to segment AR lifecycles according to their high-intensity cores. AR-CONNECT determines the lifecycles of an AR by using a flood-filling algorithm to group discrete AR timeslices where they are contiguous …

This collection contains raw data from a REMUS-100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) deployed over the Makua reef shelf, Oahu, Hawaii on 6-8 September 2013. The dataset includes the vehicle’s location (latitude, longitude), orientation (yaw, pitch, roll), and time (UTC) as well as pressure and velocity measurements from upward- and downward-looking 1200 kHz RDI Doppler velocity logs (DVLs) onboard. Velocity data were collected in ship coordinates. Hydrodynamic surveys consisted of mow patterns with repeated transects in both the cross-and alongshore directions in water depths ranging from 5 to 30 m. The surveys spanned an alongshore distance of about 1600 m, with …

The California American Indian Tobacco Initiative Evaluation (CAITIE) was tasked by the California Tobacco Prevention Program at the California Department of Public Health (CTPP-CDPH) to evaluate the American Indian Initiative, a state-funded program that directly funds California Native governments and organizations to develop locally effective commercial tobacco prevention programming. The evaluation aimed to assess the grant's effectiveness in: (1) building capacity and skills within Tribal communities for commercial tobacco prevention and reduction interventions, (2) mobilizing and engaging community residents and governments to support policy and system changes, and (3) enhancing the implementation, support, and evaluation of Tribal policy and system …

The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) are a unique partnership of the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, NOAA Fisheries Service and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The organization was formed in 1949 to study the ecological aspects of the sardine population collapse off California. Today the focus has shifted to the study of the marine environment off the coast of California, the management of its living resources, and monitoring the effects of climate variability and climate change. CalCOFI conducts quarterly cruises off southern & central California, collecting a suite of hydrographic and biological data on station and underway. Data …
