CAS (CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS SOCIETY) PARAMETER CODES and Other Data from MULTIPLE SHIPS From Caribbean Sea and Others from 1979-02-05 to 1989-05-03 (NCEI Accession 9100017)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
The accession contains Chemical Abstracts Society (CAS) parameter codes and Other Data from MULTIPLE SHIPS From Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico from February 5, 1979 to May 3, 1989. Floppy disks containing all the Caribbean Oil Pollution (CARIPOL) Database were submitted by J. Price of NOS. The data were originally held and quality controlled by Dr. Atwood at NOAA/AOML. The data are divided into three groupings: Beach Tar, Floating Tar and Dissolved Tar.

The Beach Tar data (ref. no. L01174 02/05/79-05/03/89, 25 STATIONS, 26,413 RECORDS) was submitted by 21 different countries around the caribbean (different institutions and ships).

The Dissolved Tar data (ref. no. L01175 11/29/79-11/13/88, 11 STATIONS, 7,209 RECORDS) was submitted by 11 countries,

The Floating Tar data (ref. no. L01176 10/29/80-11/27/88, 9 STATIONS, 3,250 RECORDS ) by 9 countries.

A description of the parameter names can be found in file structur.doc. The data are in the vax under DUA2:[LEVELA] L01174. The data was offline on May 4, 2005 when this abstract was last edited. Data should be in F144 format. NOTE: Please check the actual file format when the data is online.

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.
