Data consist of six data files (benthic sediment characteristics, benthic sediment hydrocarbons, intertidal sediment hydrocarbons, intertidal sediment trace metals, benthic sediment trace metals, and intertidal sediment characteristics). Data are derived from 801 grab and box core samples from the sea floor offshore Southern California. Original documentation have been scanned as images to a .PDF document. The data were received on August 19, 1977. Some documentation has been transcribed to an ASCII readme file. Additional data codes and documentation are in poor, extremely hard to read condition. There are known problems in these data files, including truncation of records past the 80th column in the first file (Benthic Sediment Characteristics). Other problems exist in device codes and analyses that were unable to be resolved by multiple exchanges with the contributors. Additional problems may exist, including deviations from the specified formats. environmental studies Science Applications, Inc., with funding from the NOAA and BLM Outer Continental Shelf Assessment Program. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Marine Geology Data Manager 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 Boulder CO 80305-3328 USA geology.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact notPlanned Completed data set, no additions planned. https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/geolin/preview64995001.gif sample locations in study area GIF OCS > Outer Continental Shelf Program ICSU-WDS > International Council for Science - World Data System project Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Project Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2024.

Reliability Grain size data from this data set were run through algorithm to sum phi weight percentages, and due to quality concerns raised during the process, were not added to the historic NGDC Seafloor Sediment Grain Size Database. Grain size analyses from this data set are only available in their original form. Quality control was performed by the originator. NCEI performed basic out-of-range location testing. Grain size analyses from this data set were not reformatted to the 073 format for addition to the NGDC Seafloor Sediment Grain Size Database due to quality concerns. Data were contributed by the originator to NOAA's former National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) and may be part of a larger compilation archived as oceanographic data by NCEI. Data were received in September of 1977 on nine track magnetic tape in EBCDIC form as five files of 130 character records blocked to 2600 characters per block. The tape contained 2, 580 records, there were 1,066 sample header records, but all but 801 were duplicated. Francis Mitchel of NODC noted on transmission that the data were probably not usable. From 1975 through the 1980s, most sediment data collected as part of offshore environmental baseline and/or habitat studies were part of a suite of measurements sent to NODC or NODC liasons. NODC data managers, primarily Francis Mitchel, then sent the sediment-related data (e.g., physical properties, composition, geochemstry, mineralogy) to the former NGDC as the authoritative archive and distribution point for sediment data. Many sediment analyses and descriptions, however, were maintained by NODC as benthic habitat data, and some additional sediment data were duplicated between the NODC and NGDC archives. 1977-08-10T00:00:00 John Wilson Science Applications, Inc. repository NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National 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.
