Title: NODC Standard Format Water Physics and Chemistry (F004) Data (1949-1985) (NODC Accession 0012901)
Abstract: This data set contains data from measurements and analyses of physical
and chemical characteristics of the water column. Chemical parameters
that may be recorded are salinity, pH and concentration of oxygen,
ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll and suspended solids. Physical
parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t),
transmissivity and current velocity (east-west and north-south
components). Cruise and station information may include environmental
conditions of the study site at the time of observation. Data are very
sparse prior to 1951.
