Chemical and other data collected using bottle casts from the KNORR as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / from Geochemical Ocean Section Study (IDOE/GEOSECS) project, from 1972-07-12 to 1978-04-24 (NCEI Accession 8600051)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-02-11T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data file contains trace chemicals reported in a format similar to SD2. These data were collected by Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) from July 12, 1972 to April 24, 1978 in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Geochemical Ocean Section Study (IDOE/GEOSECS) Program. The data parameters measured were: barium, total organic carbon, deuterium, radium-226, lead-210, polonium, tritium, helium, neon, strontium-90, and cesium-137.
