Since 1949, hydrographic and biological data of the California Current System have been collected on CalCOFI cruises. The 61 year hydrographic time-series includes temperature, salinity, oxygen and phosphate observations. In 1961, nutrient analysis expanded to include silicate, nitrate and nitrite; in 1973, chlorophyll was added; in 1984, C14 primary productivity incubations were added; and in 1993, CTD profiling began.

Data Usage and Distribution Policy
CalCOFI hydrographic and plankton data are distributed to the community for use without restriction. Unless otherwise noted, these data can be considered to be final data which have been evaluated using CalCOFI data quality control procedures. Methods for data collection and processing are summarized in CalCOFI Data Reports introduction. To see the introduction or methods used on specific cruises, refer to the Data Report PDF page. Preliminary data from recent cruises for which the data processing is not complete can generally be made available to those programs for which there is an operational need. Refer to the Contacts page for addressing such requests. We ask that these preliminary data not be published or redistributed.

CalCOFI Hydrographic Database

Print PDF

The CalCOFI Hydrographic Database contains formatted IEH ascii data plus additional derived data published in the CalCOFI Hydrographic Data Reports. The legacy IEH format removes all decimal points and places data in specific columns. These data are re-formatted back into decimal form and imported into an Access database. Data column format & units are described in the IEH format description.

CalCOFI Hydrographic Data are available as downloadable files in several formats (mdb, xml, csv, sql dump) All online versions of the database includes final, published data only. A research version with preliminary data is available by request from the CalCOFI data manager.:
