Physical, chemical and biological data from the NOAA Marine EcoSystems Analysis Program (MESA) New York Bight project from 1957 through 1984
This collection consists of physical, chemical, meteorological, and biological data collected for the NOAA Marine EcoSystems Analysis Program (MESA) New York Bight project, between 1973 and 1984. Additional data collected as early as 1957 may have also been used in support of the project. These data were collected in and around the New York Bight located along the coasts of New Jersey and New York, 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 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 determine the fate and effects of pollutants on the New York Bight ecosystem, with particular emphasis on ocean dumping; and to identify and describe the important subsystems, processes, and driving forces operating in the New York Bight as a whole and to define their interrelationships and rates of change. |
