Migratory bird and other data from the Beaufort/Simpson Lagoon as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 01 June 1977 to 05 September 1978 (NODC Accession 8000392)

Migratory bird and other data were collected from the Beaufort/Simpson Lagoon from 01 June 1977 to 05 September 1978. Data were collected by the Alaska Research Associates and LGL LTD as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F038 Migratory Sea Bird Watch format. Full format description is available from the NODC homepage at www.nodc.noaa.gov/. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F038 format contains data from field observations of migratory bird species made at fixed offshore positions. These data are collected to provide information about migratory routes and breeding locales of principal marine bird species. Position, date, start and end times, elapsed time, distance from shore, platform type, counting method and sampling technique are reported for each series of observations. Environmental information may include meteorological and sea surface conditions, ice cover, and tide height and trend. Species information may include age, sex, color, plumage, molt, behavior, number of individuals and number of species.

1977年6月1日至1978年9月5日期间，研究人员于波弗特/辛普森泻湖（Beaufort/Simpson Lagoon）收集了候鸟及其他相关数据。本数据由阿拉斯加研究协会（Alaska Research Associates）与LGL有限公司（LGL LTD）采集，作为外大陆架环境评估计划（Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program, OCSEAP）的一部分。美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）已将该数据按照NODC标准F038《海洋候鸟观测》格式完成标准化处理。完整的格式说明可通过NODC官网www.nodc.noaa.gov查阅。本次入库数据的模拟文件可通过NODC用户服务渠道获取。

F038格式存储了在固定近海点位开展的候鸟物种野外观测数据。采集此类数据旨在为主要海洋鸟类物种的迁徙路径与繁殖栖息地提供信息支撑。每一组观测序列均会记录观测点位、观测日期、起止时间、持续时长、离岸距离、观测平台类型、计数方式与采样技术等信息。环境信息可涵盖气象与海表状况、冰覆盖情况以及潮位高度与变化趋势。物种信息可包含鸟类的年龄、性别、羽色、羽毛状态、换羽情况、行为模式、个体数量与物种数量。
