CCE-CalCOFI Methods manual

Further information about CCE Methods is summarized in the following three documents: summary table of measurements (pdf), summary table of measurement references (pdf), and a list of literature citations (pdf). Note that the methods for the standard CalCOFI measurements are found below in the section “Core CalCOFI Variables”.
