NODC Standard Format Seabed Oxygen Consumption from In-Situ Sources (F050) Data (1974-1978) (NCEI Accession 0014186)

This data type contains data from analyses of seabed oxygen consumption determined from measurements over a specified time interval of initial and final dissolved oxygen concentration. Cruise information, position, date, time, number of replicates (repeat measurements), bottom depth, temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and oxygen saturation are reported for each experiment. General environmental information may include meteorological and sea surface conditions, water transparency, elapsed time, initial dissolved oxygen concentration, final dissolved oxygen concentration, oxygen consumption and weight percent organic matter are reported for each replicate. Data on water column respiration (e.g., oxygen concentration, oxygen consumed or produced) may also be reported.
