Marine Toxic Substance and other data from bottle casts from the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental

Resource Abstract:
Marine Toxic Substance and other data were collected from bottle casts from the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER. Data were collected
by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program
(OCSEAP) from 08 September 1976 to 24 September 1976. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F144 Marine Toxic Substances
and Pollutants format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f144.html.
An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.The F144 format contains data on ambient concentrations
of toxic substances and other pollutants in the marine environment. The data derive from laboratory analyses of samples of
water, sediment, or marine organisms. Samples may have been collected near marine discharge sites or during ocean monitoring
surveys of large areas. Field observations of tar deposits on beaches may also be reported. Survey information includes platform
type, start and end dates, and investigator and institution. If data are collected near a discharge site, discharge location,
depth, distance to shore, average volume, and other characteristics are reported. Position, date, time and environmental conditions
are reported for each sample station. Environmental data may include meteorological and sea surface conditions, tide stage
and height, depth of the thermocline or mixed layer surface temperature and salinity, and wave height and periods. Sample
characteristics, collection methods, and laboratory techniques are reported for each sample collected and analyzed. The data
record comprises concentration values (or a code to indicate trace amounts) for each chemical substance analyzed. Chemical
substances are identified by codes based on the registry numbers assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American
Chemical Society. Marine organisms from which samples have been taken are identified using the 12-digit NODC Taxonomic Code.
A text record is available for optional comments.

Additional information on resource:
Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data
Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata
(CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact informationaccurately represents all available information from
the legacy databaseat the time that this description was created. However, properattribution of a PI to a specific institution
or the role (submitting orcollecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexactmapping between fields in the
legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to thisuncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in theSupplemental Information
element of the CSDGM description.To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for allaccessions on an ongoing
basis.Points of contact for this data set include:Contact info: Agency: US DOC; NOAA; ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORY; PACIFIC
