Title: BACTERIA - BACTERIAL DENSITY and Other Data from FIXED STATIONS From New York Bight and Others from 1968-06-10 to 1990-12-06 (NCEI Accession 9100200)
Abstract: The accession contains New York City Department Harbor Survey Data from years 1968 to 1990. Station data was collected as part of the NYC Department of Environmental Protection's Harbor Survey at the Hudson River along Manhattan, New York Bight, Long Island Sound. Parameters measured were salinity, dissolved oxygen, total coliform counts/ml, and fecal coliform counts/100 ml were recorded as 80-column ASCII files (SAS file format); each line in the file represents sampling data from a single site per day. Data was submitted on a diskette. A hardcopy of a README file which interprets the file format and a map of the study site is included in the documentation. Principal Investigator was Dr. Alan I. Stubin of Institute: NYC DEP (Marine Science Branch, Ward's Island).

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.
