Water physics and chemistry data from bottle casts from the MAURY and other platforms in the Chesapeake Bay from 1949-07-01 to 1982-08-13 (NCEI Accession 8500022)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-05-22T00:00:00.000+00:00
Water physics and chemistry data were collected from bottle casts from the MAURY and other platforms from 01 July 1949 to 13 August 1982. Data were submitted by Johns Hopkins University; Chesapeake Bay Institute (JHU). 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.
