CalCOFI cruises collect underway data on NOAA vessels from the SCS (Shipboard Computer System). These data may or may not be combined into a common, comma-delimited, ascii file. Most sensor data are collected at different frequencies and require post-cruise processing to combine into a standard time frame. RV New Horizon's underway dataset may be a few hundred megabytes whereas NOAA underway dataset requires 3 DVDs to archive. Please refer to CalCOFI's Underway Data page for merged, processed data.
