Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

HYDROCARBONS - TOTAL RESOLVED, CAS (CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS SERVICE) PARAMETER CODES and PCB, and other data from UNKNOWN in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea from 1979-02-05 to 1989-02-23 (NCEI Accession 8900193)

Graphic not available.

The data in this submission consists of three files. It represents all of the Caripol Phase I data spanning a period of 10 years on file at Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) as of July 1989. The data were submitted by Dr. Donald K. Atwood. These data were collected by many institutes in the United States, Caribbean, Central and South America. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. One file contains the data regarding amount of tar on the beaches. The data were collected from February 1979 to February 1989. Second file contains the dissolved and dispersed petroleum hydrocarbon data collected from November 1979 to February 1989. The third file contains the floating tar data collected from December 1979 to November 1987.

Supplemental Information	These data files are in NODC F144 format. 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.
