EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM and Other Platforms From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1980-05-29 to 1984-06-09 (NCEI Accession 8600070)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:36 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 11, 2023 at 12:00 AM

Effluent discharge was studied from fixed platform and other platforms from NW Atlantic (limit-40 w) for a period of three years. The trace metal concentrations were monitored in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), George's Bank Sediments from May 29, 1980 to June 9, 1984 by Dr. Mike Bothner of United States Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole. Corrected originators data was received via George H. The data in originators file # 1 is miscellaneous grouping. File # 2 contains standard or regular analysis. File # 3 contains fine fraction analysis. The data is available in NODC F144-Marine Toxic Substances and Pollutants format.
