Phytoplankton and other data from net and bottle casts in the Gulf of Alaska from the MILLER FREEMAN and other platforms as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 24 March 1978 to 16 August 1978 (NODC Accession 7900142)

Phytoplankton and other data were collected from net and bottle casts in the Gulf of Alaska from the MILLER FREEMAN and other platforms from 24 March 1978 to 16 August 1978. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC F028 Phytoplankton format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f028.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F028 format is used for data from the sampling and analysis of marine phytoplankton. Information on phytoplankton abundance, distribution, and productivity derived from these data support studies of marine populations and ecosystems. Data reported may include: position, date, and time of sampling; bottom depth and sampling depths; volume of water filtered; and concentration of cells, carbon concentration, wet and dry weight, and counts for each species reported. Comments may be relayed in a text record.
