Trace metal concentrations and other data from benthic samples in the coastal waters of California from 1986-11-01 to 1987-02-27 (NCEI Accession 9000021)
These data were collected to evaluate the best measures of the effect of contaminants on the biota to be used as part of the National Status and Trends Program. Sediment and benthic samples were collected in coastal waters around San Francisco Bay, specifically from the Russian River to Santa Cruz. The samples were collected from November 1, 1986 to February 27, 1987. Each sample was tested for trace metal and organic compound concentrations, organic carbon and texture. The originator's data are in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet submitted by Dr. Edward Long from NOS/CEAB. They are documented in the NOAA technical memorandum nos OMA 45 (1989) titled "An Evaluation of Candidate Measures of Biological Effects for the National Status and Trends Program".

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. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: US DOC; NOAA; NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE - SEATTLE PI: Long, Dr. Edward Address: address: 7600 SAND POINT WAY, NE city: SEATTLE state: WA postal: 98115 country: UNITED STATES |
