These data were collected from numerous platforms including ships, boats, aircraft, fixed stations and buoys, as well as by direct human observation and collection. These data were collected by numerous organizations in support of the NOAA Marine EcoSystems Analysis Program (MESA) Puget Sound project. To develop an understanding of the environmental impacts caused by human actions, primarily the introduction of chemical contaminants, upon biologic components of selected environmentally stressed subsystems of Puget Sound and, thereby, permit predictions of the ecological consequences of those actions. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:NOAA-MESA-Puget-Sound Preview graphic PNG 7600929 7601155 7601156 7601210 7601229 7601414 7601513 7601554 7601555 7601556 7601638 7601639 7601703 7601804 7601843 7601917 7700099 7700206 7700223 7700323 7700352 7700354 7700417 7700438 7700458 7700488 7700539 7700605 7700606 7700607 7700608 7700609 7700686 7700777 7700821 7700888 7800015 7800017 7800018 7800021 7800025 7800051 7800052 7800204 7800257 7800270 7800313 7800320 7800337 7800341 7800385 7800393 7800394 7800469 7800591 7800681 7800808 7900018 7900064 7900065 7900080 7900081 7900097 7900160 7900166 7900174 7900181 7900214 7900264 7900307 8000032 8000053 8000337 8000419 8100068 8100069 8100435 8100454 8100529 8100577 8100729 8300015 8300016 8300041 8300145 8300146 8400004 8500068 9900040 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-06-04 publication AIR TEMPERATURE AIR TEMPERATURE -

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.

Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness.

The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity.
