Title: Microbiological degradation and other data from Puget Sound waters and beaches from 1979-04-02 to 1979-08-21 (NCEI Accession 8000419)
Abstract: Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Microbiological Degradation (F059) format.

The F059 format is designed to support microbiological studies of bacteria, microbiota, and fungi. There are twelve data record types used to report cruise and station information, position and time, physical, chemical and environmental parameters, and data records for the microbiological studies.

Supplementary information: 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 information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
