Coastal Temperature

Time series of coastal temperature have been obtained from temperature loggers mounted directly on the rock surface of the tidal (1997-2000) and subtidal zone (1-2 meters below the lowest low tide mark, 2000-Now)  along the coast of central Chile, covering around 500 km of coastline between 30 and 34° S.

    CTD cast have been carried out mainly off Las Cruces and El Quisco (see figure bellow),  between 0 and 30m. Data of temperature, salinity, fluorescence and oxygen have been obtained with a SBE 19, both fluorescence and oxygen have been calibrated by in situ water samples (for more details see Narvαez et al 2004). The following table show in detail the date and location of each cruise.

Since 1999 there is installed a Campbell meteorological station in ECIM taking data every 20 minutes. The data collected is wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity and PAR radiation.

Moored CTD data

        From November 2001 to January 2003 we registered hourly temperature, salinity, oxygen and fluorescence with a CTD moored in Las Cruces, every week the CTD was took out for mantention. In certain period were switched between 2 CTD, indicated by CTD Model in the table bellow.
