Physical, chemical and biological data from the NOAA Marine EcoSystems Analysis Program (MESA) Puget Sound project from 1965 through 1986
This collection consists of physical, chemical, meteorological, and biological data collected in Puget Sound, Washington, between 1965 and 1986. These data were collected from numerous platforms including ships, boats, aircraft, fixed stations and buoys, as well as by direct human observation and collection. These data were collected by numerous organizations in support of the NOAA Marine EcoSystems Analysis Program (MESA) Puget Sound project.

Supplemental Information | Note: Preliminary metadata for this dataset was 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). To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis. |
Purpose | To develop an understanding of the environmental impacts caused by human actions, primarily the introduction of chemical contaminants, upon biologic components of selected environmentally stressed subsystems of Puget Sound and, thereby, permit predictions of the ecological consequences of those actions. |
