Tomales Bay Water Quality data including bacterial density, particulate organic carbon and other data from shore from 1967-05-01 to 1970-02-01 (NCEI Accession 7100244)
This dataset comprises Tomales Bay Water Quality data collected from May 1, 1967, until February 25, 1970. These observations were made from shore, but a small outboard whose official name is R/V Crago was used (call sign is WS 2159). The institution sponsoring the program is the Pacific Marine Station, Dillon Beach, California, 94929. The principal investigator is Dr. Edmund H. Smith.
The position of the samples was determined by sighting from shore stations. The principal chart is the C and G S 5603. Times are given in Pacific Standard Time. There are three types of cards containing data. They are differentiated by numbers in column 78. Card type I (with a 1 punched in column 78) precedes each set of observations at a particular location. Each location was re-sampled approximately every two weeks during the period included by the above dates. Because the locations were determined by fixed shore features, the accuracy for relocating positions is within 50 feet for all locations.

Supplemental 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.
