Benthic organism and other data from the Beaufort Sea from the GLACIER as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 19 August 1971 to 22 August 1972 (NODC Accession 7700213)

Benthic organism and other data were collected in the Beaufort Sea from the GLACIER by Oregon State University (OSU). Data were collected as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 19 August 1971 to 22 August 1972. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F132 Benthic Organism format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f132.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F132 format contains data from field sampling or surveys of bottom dwelling marine organisms. The data provide information on species abundance, distribution, and biomass; they may have been collected by point sampling (grab or core), by tow (dredge, trawl or net), by photographic surveys, or by other methods. Cruise information such as vessel, start and end dates, investigator, and institution/agency; station numbers, positions and times; and equipment and methods are reported for each survey. Environmental data reported at each sampling site may include meteorological and sea surface conditions; surface and bottom temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen; and sediment characteristics. Number of individual organisms and total weight of organisms is reported for each species. A text record is available for comments.

底栖生物（benthic organism）及其他相关数据由俄勒冈州立大学（Oregon State University, OSU）搭乘GLACIER号科考船于波弗特海采集。本次数据采集作为外大陆架环境评估计划（Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program, OCSEAP）的组成部分，于1971年8月19日至1972年8月22日开展。数据由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）按照NODC标准F132底栖生物格式完成标准化处理。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网获取，网址为www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f132.html。本数据集的模拟文件可通过NODC用户服务渠道获取。

F132格式收录了底栖海洋生物的野外采样或调查数据。此类数据涵盖物种丰度、分布特征及生物量相关信息，采集方式包括点位采样（抓斗采样或岩芯采样）、拖曳采样（疏浚采样、拖网或网具采样）、摄影调查或其他方法。每项调查均记录航次相关信息，包括科考船名称、起止日期、调查负责人及所属机构/单位、测站编号、采样位置与时间，以及所用设备与采样方法。各采样点位记录的环境数据可涵盖气象与海面状况、表层及底层水温、盐度与溶解氧含量，以及沉积物特征。数据集会记录各物种种群的个体总数与总生物量，并附带文本记录栏用于填写备注信息。
