Bacteria, taxonomic code, and other data collected from G.W. PIERCE in North Atlantic Ocean from sediment sampler; 1976-02-20 to 1976-03-23 (NCEI Accession 7601642)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 05:13 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 07, 2022 at 12:00 AM
Bacteria, taxonomic code, and other data were collected using sediment sampler and other instruments in the North Atlantic Ocean from G.W. PIERCE. Data were collected from 20 February 1976 to 23 March 1976 by Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point with support from the Ocean Continental Shelf - Mid Atlantic (OCS-Mid Atlantic) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bacteriology (F009) format. The F009 format is designed to support bacteriological studies of the water column and ocean bottom. Information on environmental conditions, physical measurements of the water and sediment, and density of heterotrophic, hydrocarbonoclastic, and halophilic bacteria are presented. The format contains five data record types, each 80 characters in length, sorted by station ad sequence numbers. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file name (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.
