- CalCOFI's standard station pattern since 1985 includes 66 stations from San Diego to Pt Conception (Lines 93.3 to 76.7). Nine additional coastal ~20m SCCOOS stations were added July 2004. See Station position page for station coordinates and average bottom depth.
- Thirty-eight additional stations off central and northern California are typically occupied during winter and spring cruises, time and weather-permitting (Lines 73.3 to 60.0). Please refer to the 113 Station Map or Station Position page for coordinates.
- Parameters measured include condutivity-temperature-depth (CTD) fitted with sensors to measure pressure, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), fluorescence, and transmissivity. Analytical tests are conducted for salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll and phaeopigments, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, silicate and primary productivity. Net tows include the CalBOBL, Manta tow, PRPOOS and Pairovet. See Station Work page for more information on typical station activities.
