2013-2014 NOAA PAH concentrations and granulometry data

This dataset has CTD and positional data from sediment grabs taken on the NOAA ship Pisces (2013) and Gordon Gunter (2014). Two shoreline collections from Louisiana and Alabama are included in the 2014 data. All sediment grabs on the NOAA cruises were made with a multicorer, unless a Shipek (R) grab is indicated. Samples from the multicorer tubes or the Shipek grab were subsampled to a depth of 5 cm. The two shoreline collections were taken to a depth of 25cm (Slidell Louisiana, shovel collection) or to a depth of 5cm (Dauphin Island, hand core). Sediment samples were sent to the Louisiana State University Ag center for granulometry analysis (2013 sediment). The 2014 sediment granulometry was analyzed at Troy University. PAH data was determined at Troy University. The data were collected at the same time as dataset R2.x222.000:0004, which reports trace metals from these same samples.
