Title: Phytoplankton and other data from net and bottle casts in the Lower Cook Inlet from the ACONA and other platforms as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 25 May 1976 to 31 August 1976 (NODC Accession No. 7700120)
Abstract: Phytoplankton and other data were collected from net and bottle casts in the Lower Cook Inlet from the ACONA and other platforms from 25 May 1976 to 31 August 1976. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC F028 Phytoplankton format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f028.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F028 format is used for data from the sampling and analysis of marine phytoplankton. Information on phytoplankton abundance, distribution, and productivity derived from these data support studies of marine populations and ecosystems. Data reported may include: position, date, and time of sampling; bottom depth and sampling depths; volume of water filtered; and concentration of cells, carbon concentration, wet and dry weight, and counts for each species reported. Comments may be relayed in a text record.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
