Title: Atmospheric pollutant and other data from the TRIDENT and tower as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) from 1972-02-01 to 1972-09-01 (NCEI Accession 7300574)
Abstract: Atmospheric pollutant and other data were collected from the TRIDENT and tower from 01 February 1972 to 01 September 1972. Data include trace metals in the atmosphere, and the surface microlayer in Narragansett Bay. Data also include mercury concentrations from the Connecticut River, Mystic River, and the Long Island Sound.

Data were collected by the University of Rhode Island (URI) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE). Data was submitted to the National Science Foundation as a report titled 'Atmospheric Pollutant Transport and Deposition of the Seas Surface' on 31 October 1972. Analog copies of report are available by contacting NODC user services.

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.
