Title: Primary productivity and other data from RORQUAL in the Raritan and Lower Hudson Estuary from 1973-11-12 to 1975-06-05 (NCEI Accession 7601435)
Abstract: This dataset includes primary productivity data from the NMFS/MESA Primary Productivity Study in the Raritan-Lower Hudson Estuary, New York/New Jersey from the R/V Rorqual from 11/12/73 to 6/4/75. Data were collected and submitted by NOAA/NMFS/Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory, Highlands, New Jersey.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Primary Productivity 2 (F049) format.

The F049 format contains data from measurements of photosynthetic capacity and phytoplankton productivity. In addition to cruise information, position, date, time, sampling depths, bottom depth, and general environmental information, this file may contain measured parameters including: concentrations of chlorophylls a, b, c, plant carotenoids, and phaeo-pigments; concentrations of oxygen, particulate organic carbon, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, silicate, and urea; temperature, salinity, and total alkalinity; and light penetration and light intensity. Values of photosynthetic capacity and primary productivity may be reported as total values or partial values for phytoplankton, net plankton, nano-plankton, and dissolved organic matter.

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.
