Water physical and chemical data from current meter and bottle casts from the COLUMBUS ISELIN as part of the Ocean Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic (OCS - Mid Atlantic) project, 1975-10-27 to 1975-11-06 (NCEI Accession 7700454)

Water physical and chemical data were collected using current meter and bottle casts from the COLUMBUS ISELIN from October 27, 1975 to November 6, 1975. Data were submitted by Virginia Institute of Marine Science - Gloucester Point, as part of the Ocean Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic (OCS - Mid Atlantic) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Water Physical and Chemical (F014) format. Full current meter moorings descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f014.html.

The F014 format is designed to support studies of physical and chemical observations on the water column. Reported are measurements of temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, orthophosphate, and organic carbon. The format consists of four data record types, 80 characters in length, sorted by station and sequence numbers for proper order. 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 originator, is an unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field an unique NODC identifier for internal use.

1975年10月27日至11月6日期间，研究团队依托"COLUMBUS ISELIN"号科考船，采用海流计与采水器采集水体理化数据。该数据集由弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（Virginia Institute of Marine Science）- 格洛斯特角分部提交，作为"大西洋大陆架-中大西洋（Ocean Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic，OCS-Mid Atlantic）"项目的组成部分。美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，NODC）已将该数据处理为NODC标准水体理化（F014）格式。完整的海流计锚系装置说明可通过以下链接获取：http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f014.html。

F014格式专为支撑水柱理化观测研究而设计，涵盖的观测指标包括温度、盐度、电导率、溶解氧、硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐、氨、正磷酸盐与有机碳。该格式包含四类数据记录类型，单条记录长度为80字符，所有记录将按测站与序号排序以确保数据顺序正确。所有记录的前九列用于存储文件类型（第1-3列）与文件标识符（第4-9列）。文件标识符由数据提交方指定，为每次数据提交分配唯一的提交方标识；数据提交至NODC后，该字段将被重新分配为NODC内部使用的唯一标识符。
