NODC Standard Format Intertidal/Subtidal (F100) Data (1974-1979) (NCEI Accession 0014193)

This data type is used to support physical and biological studies of the intertidal/subtidal regime. There are eight data record types to: 1) identify the station, 2) report on the sediment analysis, 3) describe the biological sample, 4) identify species, 5) examination of an individual fish, 6) analyze the stomach contents of the individual fish examined, and 7) a text record, 8) a sample record. Each record is 80 characters in length, sorted by station and sequence numbers for proper order. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file type (columns 1-3) and file identifier (columns 4-9). The file identifier, to be assigned by the originator, is a unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field a unique NODC identifier for internal use.
