Data for 1999-2007 South Puget Sound Studies

We thoroughly test our data to ensure it is of the highest quality.  We provide all data quality information to users and can readily supply more detailed information if requested.  Please read the details of how this data is collected and qualified before using.

South Puget Sound Marine Environmental Monitoring (SPSMEM) Data

Please read the information below before using this data. CTD (oceanographic instrument) and marine lab data are available for download. (under construction)

Metadata

View our metadata tables before downloading data. We collect various water quality data such as:

• CTD (oceanographic instruments)  profiles as well as discrete samples.

Some types of data collected during the phase 2 period of the project were not previously collected during phase 1 and the interim annual monitoring cruises.

• View a summary of cruises and data types collected for each cruise.

• For the phase 1 part of the project and interim annual monitoring, basin-wide cruises were conducted aboard the R/V Barnes.

• For the phase 2 period of the project, 3 types of cruises were conducted, including boundary sampling aboard the R/V Liberty, seasonal intensive basin-wide sampling aboard the R/V Barnes, and supplemental monthly sampling aboard the R/V Skookum.

• A comprehensive list of stations sampled for each type of cruise is available.

Data Details

Data variables collected and measurement procedures have varied over the period. Beware of these attributes before any analysis of these data.

• Data quality is indicated by a data qualifier code (qc). A table of codes used is available for interpretation of the data. (under construction)
• Overall data quality by cruise is assessed, qualified and summarized by cruise. (under construction)
• Only data with a qc of level 1 or 2 are available from this site. Measurement procedures are referenced for sampling from 1999 onwards. (under construction)
