Benthic organism and other data from the Gulf of Alaska from the NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN and other platforms as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 30 July 1978 to 26 November 1979 (NODC Accession 8200057)

Benthic organism and other data were collected in the Gulf of Alaska from the NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN and other platforms by University of Alaska; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS). Data were collected as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 30 July 1978 to 26 November 1979. 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.txt. 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）及其他相关数据由阿拉斯加大学海洋科学研究所（UAK/IMS）通过NOAA米勒·弗里曼号考察船及其他调查平台在阿拉斯加湾海域采集。数据采集工作作为外大陆架环境评估计划（OCSEAP）的一部分，于1978年7月30日至1979年11月26日期间开展。国家海洋数据中心（NODC）将所有数据处理为符合NODC标准的F132底栖生物格式。完整格式说明可从NODC官网https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f132.txt获取。本批次数据的模拟文件可通过NODC用户服务获取。 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、分布及生物量信息，可通过点位采样（抓斗或岩心采样）、拖网作业（疏浚、拖网或网具）、摄影调查或其他方式采集。每份调查均记录了航行相关信息，包括考察船名称、起止日期、调查人员及所属机构/单位、站位编号、位置与时间，以及所用设备与调查方法。各采样点记录的环境数据可涵盖气象与海表状况、表层及底层水温、盐度与溶解氧含量，以及沉积物特征。各物种的个体数量及总生物量均有记录，同时还附带可填写备注的文本记录。
