Trace Metal and Ancillary Data in Puget Sound, 1980 - 1986 (NCEI Accession 9100153)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
In first of three data reports on the trace metal and ancillary data in Puget Sound and its watershed (Paulson et al., 1991a), all water column, sediment, and sediment trap data from the urban embayments and the watersheds discharging into Puget Sound between 1979 and January 1986 were reported. In the second data report (Paulson et al., 1991b), the complete data set between 1980 and January 1985 for the open waters of Puget Sound was presented, In this third data report, data from a single cruise in the urban embayments and open waters of Puget Sound during August 1986 are listed. The data are presented geographically in the following manner: Elliott and Commencement bays, the main basin of Puget Sound, South Puget Sound, Whidbey basin and Hood Canal. The information gained from these data has been interpreted by PMEL scientists and is published in a variety of scientific journals that are listed within each section.

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.
