Summary: CalCOFI 1607OS sailed from 10th Ave Marine Terminal San Diego July 10 2016 at 0800PDT and returned as scheduled July 27 2016. Offloading started upon arrival to San Diego. 68 stations (60 standard and 8 SCCOOS stations) were successfully occupied. Please refer to the preliminary data plots web page and data links below for preliminary data.
The typical 75-station summer station pattern was scheduled but due to high winds and rough seas west of Pt. Conception, ~ 26 hours were lost. All of Line 80 stations were completed but several stations on Line 77 were missed as ship-time ran out due to weather delays and long transit times. Stations missed: 77.100, 77.70, 77.60, 77.55, 77.51, 77.49, SCCOOS 85.8 35.8.
