The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Temperature, salinity, radioisotopes, sediments, and other data from Phase II Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Monitoring Program in the Santa Maria Basin, California from 21 Oct 1986 to 08 Mar 1987 (NODC Accession 8900198)
Abstract: These data are part of the data collected for the California Phase II OCS Monitoring Program of the Santa Maria Basin by Dr. Hyland from Battelle Ocean Science and Dr. Lissner from SAIC spanning the period from 21 Oct 1986 to 08 Mar 1987. As part of this program, physical, chemical and biological data were analyzed to determine the impact of oil/gas drilling and production.

Originator's data were submitted on tape which have been copied/migrated to current NODC data storage media. Description of the data in the files follows:

File 1 of the originator's tape contains carbonate and total organic data (TOC).

File 2 contains salinity, temperature and sigma-t data recorded using a CTD.

Files 3 and 4 contain hard-bottom epifaunal data derived from the analysis of photographs taken using a ROV and a description of the epifaunal codes.

File 5 contains grain size data.

Files 6 and 7 contain data derived from the analysis of infauna samples taken from box cores.

Files 8 and 14 contain data location and sample codes for all files.

File 9 contains ph, shear stress and redox data derived from the analysis of sediment samples taken from box cores.

File 10 contains saturated hydrocarbons derived from the analysis of sediment and pore water data.

File 11 contains aromatic hydrocarbons from sediment and pore water samples.

File 12 contains trace metal (AG, AS, BA, CD, CR, CU, HG, NI, PB, V, ZN) concentrations in sediments and pore water.

File 13 contains data on the activity of radioisotopes (PB 210, TH 228, TH 230, TH 232, TH 234) in sediments.

File 15 contains saturated hydrocarbons from tissue samples.

File 16 contains the aromatic hydrocarbons from tissue samples.

File 17 contains trace metal (AG, AS, BA, CD, CR, CU, HG, NI, PB, V, ZN) concentrations in tissue samples.

File 18 contains data on the concentration of 2 to 5-ring aromatic hydrocarbons from sediment samples.

File 19 contains water quality data collected using bottle casts. The parameters reported are dissolved oxygen (DO) nitrate, nitrite, PH, phosphate, salinity and silicate. Sample locations and codes can be found in files 8 and 14.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
