Intertidal organism and habitat data from the Seward Peninsula from aircraft and other platforms as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 19 July 1976 to 31 August 1976 (NODC Accession 7800497)

Intertidal organism and habitat data were collected from the Seward Peninsula from aircraft and other platforms as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were collected by Western Washington University (WWU) from 19 July 1976 to 31 August 1976. Data were processed by NODC to NODC standard F030 Intertidal Organism and Habitat 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 F030 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.
