Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

CTD profile and pump cast data from the Columbia River Estuary for the Columbia River Land-Margin Ecosystem Research (LMER) project from 1996-07-09 to 1998-03-06 (NCEI Accession 9800145)

Hydrophysical, hydrochemical, and other data were collected from CTD and pump casts in the Columbia River Estuary from 09 July 1996 to 06 March 1998. Data was collected as part of the Columbia River Land-Margin Ecosystem Research (LMER) Project. Data include water depths, temperatures, salinities, sigma-thetas, optical backscattering, chlorophyll a concentrations, beam attenuations, and percent transmissivities of pure water. CTD data, unless otherwise noted, were taken on the downcast and the resulting salinity and temperature profiles were used to select pump depths on the following upcast.

Supplemental Information
Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
