Water physics and chemistry data from moored current meter and bottle casts in the Coastal Waters of New Jersey as part of the Mesa New York Bight (MESA - NYB) project, 28 April 1977 - 19 October 1977 (NODC Accession 7800053)

Water physics and chemistry data were collected using moored current meter and bottle casts in the Coastal Waters of New Jersey from April 28, 1977 to October 19, 1977. Data were submitted by National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) as part of the Mesa New York Bight (MESA - NYB) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Water Physics and Chemistry Data (F004) format. Full water physics and chemistry descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f004.html.

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.

本数据集于1977年4月28日至1977年10月19日期间，采用锚定海流计与采水瓶投放作业的方式，在新泽西海岸近岸海域采集水体物理化学数据。本数据集由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）作为纽约湾梅萨（Mesa New York Bight, MESA-NYB）项目的组成部分提交。数据集已由NODC整理为NODC标准水体物理化学数据（F004）格式。完整的水体物理化学数据说明可通过以下链接获取：http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f004.html。

F004格式用于存储水体柱体物理与化学特性的测量及分析相关数据。可记录的化学参数包括盐度、pH值、溶解氧、氨氮、硝酸盐、磷酸盐、叶绿素及悬浮固体浓度。可记录的物理参数包括温度、密度（sigma-t）、透射率及海流流速（东西向与南北向分量）。数据集同时涵盖航次与测站信息，包括观测时刻研究海域的环境条件。
