Station Positions
The station transects and offshore stations are 40nm apart with coastal stations ~20nm apart. Current station numbering includes a decimal value to distinguish SCCOOS stations from standard CalCOFI stations; sta 93.3 26.7 (standard CalCOFI station) & 93.3 26.4 (SCCOOS), for example. Prior to 2004, standard CalCOFI station may be referenced by the integer line.sta number…
