Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:47 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 28, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains two files of salinity/temperature/oxygen data from Long Island Sound data submitted by J.C. Ayers from Cornell University and Davids Island data submitted from NOAA NMFS Sandy Hook Laboratory. There are two reference numbers which refer to each file: L00942 = Ayers data set, January to September 1952. L00943 = Davids Island, April to June 1971 - part of the Davids Island ecological survey of western Long Island Sound. The data have been formatted in F004 format and includes the following parameters: temperature, salinity and oxygen.
