Data set from a study of biological processes on the United States North Atlantic slope from 01 May 1984 to 31 September 1986 (NODC Accession 8800246)

This data set contains the results from a study of biological processes on the United States North Atlantic slope and rise sponsored by the Minerals Management Service (MMS), Department of Interior. The data were submitted by Battelle Ocean Sciences and Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. Data were collected during following time periods. Cruises NA1-NA6 between November 1984 and September 1986 and cruises MD1-MD6 between May 1984 and November 1985 both used R/V Cape Hatteras, Oceanus and Gyre. Station locations are given by area names without latitudes and longitudes, and although specific, no definite day is given. The documentation includes descriptions of the substrate, comments and species codes.本数据集收录了由美国内政部矿产管理局（Minerals Management Service, MMS）资助的美国北大西洋陆坡与陆隆生物过程研究的相关成果。本数据集由巴特尔海洋科学实验室与拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质观测站提交。数据采集时段如下：1984年11月至1986年9月期间的NA1-NA6航次，以及1984年5月至1985年11月期间的MD1-MD6航次，均使用了R/V"哈特拉斯角号"、"俄刻阿诺斯号"与"盖尔号"科考船。测站位置以区域名称标注，未提供经纬度信息；尽管位置信息明确，但未记录具体采样日期。配套文档包含底质描述、注释说明与物种编码内容。
