Oceanographic and Meteorological Data from Trinidad Head, California, 2009-2021

Oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an in-situ moored station at Trinidad Head, California. Humboldt State University/CeNCOOS collected the data, which was assembled and submitted by the Central and Northern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). The data covers the period from January 1, 2009, to June 13, 2021.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term coastal oceanographic trends based on the time-series data from a fixed station.
• Modeling air-sea interaction processes based on concurrent surface meteorological and oceanographic measurements.
• Studying regional marine ecosystem dynamics based on the biological and chemical parameters mentioned in the description.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean data products based on high-frequency in-situ observations.

Strengths

• Data spans over 12 years, from 2009-01-01 to 2021-06-13.
• Data follows the Climate and Forecast (CF) and Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD) metadata standards.
• Data is part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Data Stewardship Program, suggesting a formal quality framework.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-06-13 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
