Channel Islands, Kelp Forest Monitoring, Survey, Random Point Contact, 1982-2007

This dataset from the Channel Islands National Park's Kelp Forest Monitoring Program has estimates of substrate composition and percent cover of selected algal and invertebrate taxa. The data summary data presented here represents the mean percent cover of the indicator species at the site. Sampling is conducted annually between the months of May-October, so the Time data in this file is July 1 of each year (a nominal value). The actual measurements were taken at various depths, so the Depth data in this file is the depth of the station's temperature logger, which is a typical depth.

Research Ship Kilo Moana Underway Meteorological Data, Quality Controlled

Research Ship Kilo Moana Underway Meteorological Data (delayed ~10 days for quality control) are from the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) program.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THE QUALITY FLAG DATA! Each data variable's metadata includes a qcindex attribute which indicates a character number in the flag data.  ALWAYS check the flag data for each row of data to see which data is good (flag='Z') and which data isn't.  For example, to extract just data where time (qcindex=1), latitude (qcindex=2), longitude (qcindex=3), and airTemperature (qcindex=12) are 'good' data, include this constraint in your ERDDAP query:
 flag=~"ZZZ........Z.*"
in your query.
'=~' indicates this is a regular expression constraint.
The 'Z's are literal characters.  In this dataset, 'Z' indicates 'good' data.
The '.'s say to match any character.
The '*' says to match the previous character 0 or more times.
(Don't include backslashes in your query.)
