Description

The Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Program (HABMAP) was formed in 2008 and provides updates on current algal blooms and facilitates information exchange among scientists, federal and state managers, and the general public in California. A major component of this program is regional HAB monitoring with support from the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) and the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). Water samples and net tows are collected once per week at piers to monitor for HAB species, the neurotoxin domoic acid, and water quality data including temperature, chlorophyll-a, and nutrients. The sampling stations represented in this dataset include Santa Cruz Wharf, Monterey Wharf, Cal Poly Pier, Stearns Wharf, Santa Monica Pier, Newport Beach Pier, and Scripps Pier. These data are consolidated and reformatted into Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) format from the level 1 site-specific datasets hosted on the SCCOOS ERDDAP server: (https://erddap.sccoos.org/erddap/tabledap/index.html?page=1).

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 4,158 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
