CCE LTER Data System
CCE LTER core data, including primary and derived measurements from both Process and CalCOFI-augmented cruises as well as other timeseries (long-term weather, sea level, sea surface temperature, etc.) are available through Datazoo, CCE LTER's primary data catalog
Submitting Data
Data that are collected or produced with full or partial funding provided by the CCE LTER project are required to be archived and made publicly available. If you have collected data aboard a CCE LTER process cruise, or through other assistance from the project, please visit the Submitting Data section for information, guidance and metadata forms.
LTER Core Areas
Disturbances often shape ecosystems by periodically reorganizing them,
causing significant changes in plant and animal populations and communities.
For this plot, Sustained high values indicate El Niño conditions; sustained low values indicate La Niña conditions

Nitrogen, phosphorus, trace metals and other mineral nutrients are cycled through the ecosystem
by way of decay and disturbances. In excessive quantities nitrogen and other nutrients can have
far-reaching and harmful effects on the environment.

The entire ecosystem relies on the recycling of organic matter (and the nutrients it contains), including
dead plants, animals, and other organisms. Decomposition of organic matter and its movement through
the ecosystem is an important component of the food web.

A population is a group of organisms of the same species. Variations in abundance of
populations of organisms can be important indicators of environmental changes.
Plant growth in most ecosystems forms the base or "primary" component of the food web.
The amount and type of plant growth in an ecosystem helps to determine the amount and kind of
animals (or "secondary" production) that can survive there.
