Title: Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from KNORR in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977-11-22 to 1977-12-04 (NCEI Accession 7800462)
Abstract: This entry contains the results from the Outer Continental Shelf Study (OCS) benchmark study in the North Atlantic which ran November to December 1977 from the R/V KNORR. These data were submitted by Energy Resources Co., Inc. in fulfillment of BLM contract #AA550-CT6-51. This data contains eleven files with different file types and therefore different reference numbers. The following is a description of the files and a listing of the reference numbers: file 1 labeled L01001, L130 contains nutrients, temp., sal. and do data; file 2 labeled L00991, L513 contains %silt, %clay, %grain size, %carbon and %nitrogen in sediments; file 3,4 labeled L00992, L521 contains tax. code, counts, egg/larvae; file 5 labeled L00993, L134 contains metals in zooplankton, water, sediment, macrobenthos; file 6 labeled L00994, L131 contains lipids, hydrocarbons in water, zooplankton, macrobenthos, sediment, surface film; file 7,8,9 labeled L00995, L504 contains macrobenthic taxonomy codes and counts.

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.
