Not yet in the integrated database. CalCOFI holds or tracks this dataset; it has no release tables, no ERDDAP service and no parquet yet. What is below is the record as it stands, and where the data live today.

Overview

CalCOFI Nitrate Stable Isotope of Nitrogen and Oxygen contains nitrogen and oxygen stable isotope ratios of nitrate, collected from water column bottle samples at multiple depths at CTD stations within the California Current Ecosystem region, during California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE-LTER) Process cruises, periodic research cruises distinct from the routine quarterly California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) survey. The dataset spans 2006 to ongoing. These isotope ratios, nitrogen-15 and oxygen-18 relative to standard references, are used to trace the origin and cycling of nitrate in seawater. This dataset supports study of nitrogen cycling and nutrient sources in the California Current, for researchers studying ocean biogeochemistry.

next stepconfirm dataset scope, license and DOI with the provider; no ingest planned yet. CONFLICT: sheet row 26 header/abstract describe nitrate stable isotopes (N15/O18), but EDI knb-lter-cce.104 (the URL given, rev 13 checked 2026-09-05) is titled 'Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements ... in the CCE region since 2006' -- likely a wrong EDI accession in the sheet. Recorded under the verified EDI title; the isotope dataset's real accession is unconfirmed.

Everything here is open — nothing on calcofi.io asks you to register first. If this dataset ends up in something you build or publish, register your use so it can be credited and linked back; to hear when a release changes it, stay informed. Questions: data@calcofi.io.
