Datasets
Every dataset CalCOFI holds — the 16 in the integrated database, each with its coverage, every endpoint it can be reached through and how to cite it, and the 17 holdings that are not in the database yet. One page per dataset; the machine-readable catalog is data.json and sitemap.xml.

The reference frame
25 reference rowsNot datasets: the frame every dataset joins to — the cruise and ship registry, the station grid, the boundary layers and the bathymetry.
Release tables
- Cruise unique by ship and year-month
- Ship unique ship with many cruises
- Grid CalCOFI survey grid polygons with standard and historical station patterns
- Spatial Layers Geometries for ancillary spatial layers (CA jurisdictions NOAA boundaries marine protected areas etc.) keyed by spatial_key. Sourced from metadata/spatial_layers.csv. Companion to spatial_attribute.
- Spatial Layer Attributes Non-geometry attributes for features in spatial in long entity-attribute-value form (spatial_key layer fld and one typed val_* column). Allows attribute schemas to differ across layers without column proliferation.
