Sediments, nutrients, zooplankton, and other data from GYRE in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977-02-10 to 1977-03-07 (NCEI Accession 7800459)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:21 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 11, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains the results from the Outer Continental Shelf Study (OCS) Benchmark Study in the North Atlantic which ran from February 10 to March 7, 1977 from R/V GYRE. These ocean station data were submitted by Energy Resources Co., Inc. in fulfillment of BLM contract # AA550-CT6-51. This data contains eleven files with different file types and therefore different reference numbers. The following is a description of the files and a listing of the reference numbers: file 1 labeled L00998, L130 contains nutrient, temp, salinity and do data; file 2 labeled L00965, L513 contains %silt, %clay, %grain size, %carbon and %nitrogen in sediments data; files 3 and 4 labeled L00963, L521 contains taxonomic code, counts and egg/larvae data; file 5 labeled L00966, L134 contains metals in zooplankton, water, sediment and macrobenthos data; file 6 labeled L00967, L131 contains lipids, hydrocarbons in water, zooplankton, macrobenthos, sediment and surface film data; file 7,8,9 labeled L00968 contain macrobenthic taxonomic codes and counts.
