Primary productivity, nutrients, and other data from bottle casts in the Bering Sea from a helicopter in support of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 31 March 1977 to 04 April 1977 (NODC Accession 7900024)

Primary productivity, nutrients, and other data were collected from bottle casts from a helicopter from 31 March 1977 to 04 April 1977. Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) in support of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F029 Primary Productivity format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f029.html.

The F029 format contains data from measurements of primary productivity. The data are collected to provide information on nutrient levels and nutrient flow in offshore areas. In addition to cruise information, position, date, time, sampling depths, bottom depth, and environmental information, this file may contain measured parameters including: concentrations of nutrients such as phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and ammonia; temperature and salinity; and carbon assimilation. Measurements of chlorophyll A, phaeopigment, and carbon assimilation may be reported as integrated values. A free-text record is available for comments.
