Nuclear Power Plant Site Surveys: Water physics and chemistry data from bottle casts from FIXED PLATFORM from 1972-04-26 to 1972-12-06 (NCEI Accession 7400880)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-01-16T00:00:00.000+00:00
Water physics and chemistry data were collected from bottle casts from MULTIPLE SHIPS from 26 April 1972 to 06 December 1972. Data were submitted by Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc (EG&G). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format. The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.
