Marine Bird Survey (F041)
FILE TYPE 041 - MARINE BIRD SURVEY - 6/22/78 VERSION THIS FORMAT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT STUDIES OF MARINE BIRDS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY WERE OBSERVED. THE STATION IS IDENTIFIED BY POSITION AND A DESCRIPTION (VIA CODED ENTRIES) OF VEGETATION, GEOLOGIC COMPOSITION, UPLAND TYPE AND NEAR-SHORE WATER DEPTH. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE INDICATED IN A SECOND RECORD TYPE. DATA ABOUT THE BIRDS IN GENERAL IS PRESENTED IN THE NEXT RECORD. COUNTS BY AGE AND SEX FOR A SPECIES ARE INCLUDED. THE SECOND "BIRD" RECORD IS USED TO DESCRIBE AN INDIVIDUAL FOR: SPECIES, SEX, AGE, CONDITION, AND CAUSE OF DEATH. THE LAST RECORD IS A TEXT RECORD FOR COMMENTS. FIVE DATA RECORD TYPES, 80 CHARACTERS IN LENGTH, SORTED BY STATION AND SEQUENCE NUMBERS ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS FORMAT. THE FIRST NINE COLUMNS FOR ALL RECORDS ARE TO BE USED FOR FILE TYPE (COLUMNS 1-3) AND FILE IDENTIFIER (COLUMNS 4-9). THE FILE IDENTIFIER, TO BE ASSIGNED BY THE ORIGNATOR, IS A UNIQUE ORIGINATOR ID FOR EACH DATA SUBMISSION. AFTER SUBMISSION, THE NODC REASSIGNS TO THIS FIELD A UNIQUE NODC IDENTIFIER FOR INTERNAL USE. *****ADDED NEW PARAMETER FIELDS IN RECORD TYPE 2 - GLARE INTENSITY 1&2***** ***** AND GLARE AREA 1&2 - ADDED NEW PARAMETER FIELDS IN RECORD TYPE ***** ***** 4 - TOTAL LEFT AND TOTAL RIGHT ***** STATION HEADER RECORD ALWAYS '1' 10 STATION NUMBER SEVEN-CHARACTER STATION NUMBER (FILE 100 STATION CODE MAY BE USED) - ALSO INCLUDED IN RECORDS 2,3,4,5 11 PORTION OF SEGMENT SURVEYED ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0301 18 PLATFORM NAME TWO-CHARACTER ORIGINATOR'S INTERNAL CODE 19 DATE (GMT) YYMMDD 21 START TIME (GMT) HHMM 27 ELAPSED TIME HHMMSS 31 LATITUDE DDMMSS PLUS HEMISPHERE 'N' OR 'S' 37 LONGITUDE DDDMMSS PLUS HEMISPHERE 'E' OR 'W' 44 SEGMENT LENGTH XXX - KILOMETERS TO TENTHS 52 SEGMENT AREA XXX - SQUARE KILOMETERS TO TENTHS 55 BLANK 58 VEGETATION ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0325 (THIS CODE AND THE GEOLOGIC COMPOSITION CODE ARE FOR AREAS JUST BELOW THE LOWEST TIDE LINE) 59 GEOLOGIC COMPOSITION ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0326 60 BEACH SUBSTRATE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0326 (IDENTIFIES THE MOST ABUNDANT SHORE- LINE SUBSTRATE TYPE IN A SEGMENT NOT COVERED BY NORMAL TIDES AT THE IMMEDIATE HIGH WATER STAGE) 61 PERCENTAGE OF SEGMENT IN THE PRIMARY TYPE (AS INDICATED BY BEACH SUBSTRATE) ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0327 62 BEACH SUBSTRATE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0326 (SECONDARY SHORELINE TYPE) 63 UPLAND TYPE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0328 (MOST ABUNDANT NON-MARINE TYPE THAT BORDERS ON BEACH SUBSTRATE) 64 PERCENTAGE OF SEGMENT IN THE PRIMARY TYPE (AS INDICATED BY UPLAND TYPE) ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0327 65 UPLAND TYPE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0328 (SECONDARY UPLAND TYPE) 66 BLANK 67 DEPTH INTERVAL ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0329 69 DEPTH 100 M FROM SHORE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0329 70 DEPTH 500 M FROM SHORE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0329 71 DEPTH 1000 M FROM SHORE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0329 72 BLANKS 73 SEQUENCE NUMBER XXXX - ASCENDING NUMERIC 77 ENVIRONMENT RECORD ALWAYS '2' 10 STATION NUMBER SEE RECORD '1' 11 WIND DIRECTION ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0096 18 CLOUD AMOUNT ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0105 19 WIND FORCE (BEAUFORT) ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0052 20 PRESENT WEATHER TWO-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0159 21 TIDE HEIGHT ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0049 23 TIDE STAGE ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0154 24 START TIME (LOCAL) HHMM 25 ELAPSED TIME HHMMSS 29 DATE YYMMDD 35 TEXT EIGHT-CHARACTER FIELD FOR TEXT 41 GLARE INTENSITY 1 ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0035 49 GLARE AREA 1 ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0034 50 GLARE INTENSITY 2 ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0035 51 GLARE AREA 2 ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0034 52 BLANKS 53 SEQUENCE NUMBER XXXX - ASCENDING NUMERIC 77 BIRD DATA I ALWAYS '3' 10 STATION NUMBER SEE RECORD '1' 11 TAXONOMIC CODE 12-DIGIT NODC TAXONOMIC CODE 18 MESA SPECIES GROUP TWO-CHARACTER INTERNAL CODE MAINTAINED BY THE ORIGINATOR 30 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED XXXXXX - WHOLE NUMBER (EQUAL TO COMPOSITE OF SEX OR AGE FIELDS) 32 DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0096 38 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, SEX UNKNOWN XXXX 39 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, MALE XXXX 43 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, FEMALE XXXX 47 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, AGE UNKNOWN XXXX 51 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, ADULT XXXX 55 TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED, IMMATURE XXXX 59 TOTAL LEFT XXXXX - TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED IN EACH SPECIES/TYPE CLASSIFICATION TO LEFT OF OBSERVATION PLATFORM 63 TOTAL RIGHT XXXXX - TOTAL NUMBER OBSERVED IN EACH SPECIES/TYPE CLASSIFICATION TO RIGHT OF OBSERVATION PLATFORM 68 TEXT FOUR-CHARACTERS FOR TEXT 73 SEQUENCE XXXX - ASCENDING NUMERIC 77 BIRD DATA II ALWAYS '4' 10 STATION NUMBER SEE RECORD '1' 11 TAXONOMIC CODE 12-DIGIT NODC TAXONOMIC CODE 18 AGE CLASS GROUP ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0112 30 SEX ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0101 31 BIRD LOCATION ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0330 32 BIRD CONDITION ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0331 33 BIRD OIL ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0332 34 DISPOSITION OF BIRD ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0333 35 BEACH OIL ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0332 36 OIL ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0099 37 CAUSE OF DEATH ONE-CHARACTER CODE - USE CODE 0219 38 BLANKS 39 TEXT FOUR-CHARACTER FIELD FOR TEXT 73 SEQUENCE XXXX - ASCENDING NUMERIC 77 TEXT RECORD ALWAYS '5' 10 STATION NUMBER SEE RECORD '1' 11 TEXT 59-CHARACTER FIELD FOR TEXT 18 SEQUENCE XXXX - ASCENDING NUMERIC 77
