Intertidal organism and other data from the MONTAGUE in the Gulf of Alaska as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 12 September 1974 to 15 October 1974 (NODC Accession 7600105)

Intertidal organism and other data were collected in the Gulf of Alaska from the MONTAGUE as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) from 12 September 1974 to 15 October 1974. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F30 Inter-tidal Organisms and Habitats format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f030.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F30 format is used for data from field sampling of marine organisms in intertidal or subtidal habitats. The data are collected to provide information about species abundance and distribution. Data from each observation may include: cruise and station information such as vessel name, senior scientist, position, date, and time; environmental conditions such as surface temperature and salinity, wind speed and direction, and sea state; sediment and habitat descriptors; and species identification and organism counts and measurements. Data may be reported for either individual or composite samples. A text record is available for reporting comments.
