Title: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from ALPHA HELIX and Other Platforms From Bering Sea from 19850101 to 19950106 (NODC Accession 9500145)
Abstract: The accession contains Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); Chlorophyll; and Nutrient data collected in Bering Sea as part of Inner Shelf Transfer and Recycling (ISHTAR) program collected from 1985-1995 using multiple ships. The compressed tar file ishtar.tar.Z contained ASCII files of the ISHTAR research project headed by Dr. C.P. McRoy of the Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska Fairbanks. There are two types of files: 1. Chlorophyll (20), and 2. Nutrient (19). They are differentiated by filenames. Chlorophyll data files end in chl.dat and Nutrient data files end in nut.dat. The prefixes are cruise names. Good format information is provided with the data files.

These data files are in NODC F022 format. This format is described at

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.
