Description
From 10-20, September 2017, the R/V R. G. Sproul and its crew of scientists from the University of California San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO/UCSD), the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL), the Center of Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada/Mexico (CICESE) and the Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT) made physical oceanographic observation on the inner continental shelf (20-100 m isobaths) off the central coast of California between Oceano beach and Point Conception as part of the 2017 Inner Shelf Experiment (ISDE), and also observations in the Santa Barbara Channel. R/V R. G. Sproul activities were closely coordinated with several other ISDE observational efforts including 1) the large vessels R/V Sally Ride and R/V Oceanus, 2) the small vessels R/V Sally Ann, Sounder, Kalipi, and Sand Crab, 3) coastal radar provided by SIO and OSU, and 4) aircraft remote sensing provided by SIO and the University of Washington (UW). The main goal of the cruise was the execution of coordinated ship based oceanographic surveys to observe inner shelf evolution of momentum, salt, and heat, wind driven circulation, eddies and submesoscale structures, fronts, nonlinear internal waves, topographic effects, and boundary conditions for regional numerical modeling. Data contained herein includes all of the various shipboard instrumentation, including hydrography and current measurements.
