Title: Primary productivity and other data from bottle casts from the USCGC STATEN ISLAND and other platforms in the North Pacific Ocean in support of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 07 August 1974 to 06 May 1979 (NODC Accession 8000599)
Abstract: Primary productivity and other data were collected from bottle casts from the USCGC STATEN ISLAND and other platforms in the North Pacific Ocean from 07 August 1974 to 06 May 1979. Data were collected by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and other institutions in support of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F029 Primary Productivity format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f029.html.

The F029 format contains data from measurements of primary productivity. The data are collected to provide information on nutrient levels and nutrient flow in offshore areas. In addition to cruise information, position, date, time, sampling depths, bottom depth, and environmental information, this file may contain measured parameters including: concentrations of nutrients such as phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and ammonia; temperature and salinity; and carbon assimilation. Measurements of chlorophyll A, phaeopigment, and carbon assimilation may be reported as integrated values. A free-text record is available for comments.

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).

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