Additional data collected as early as 1957 may have also been used in support of the project. These data were collected in and around the New York Bight located along the coasts of New Jersey and New York, 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 project. To determine the fate and effects of pollutants on the New York Bight ecosystem, with particular emphasis on ocean dumping; and to identify and describe the important subsystems, processes, and driving forces operating in the New York Bight as a whole and to define their interrelationships and rates of change. 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-New-York-Bight Preview graphic PNG 0014330 0014331 7500252 7500931 7501210 7600646 7600777 7601199 7601384 7601385 7601402 7601435 7601469 7601561 7601893 7601894 7700083 7700136 7700171 7700207 7700291 7700554 7700640 7700712 7700770 7800014 7800053 7800572 7800893 7900077 7900246 7900249 7900254 7900280 7900287 7900293 7900311 7900330 8000011 8000013 8000037 8000044 8100440 8200215 8300063 8800171 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1983-01-04 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. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis.

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.

Conrad-class oceanographic research ship acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1962 [5 November 1962 as USNS James M. Gilliss (T-AGOR-4)]. The ship was operated by the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS now MSC) and managed by the Naval Oceanographic Office as one of the "Navy Pool" vessels serving various Navy laboratories and projects in the Atlantic Ocean. After active Navy pool service the ship was assigned to the University of Miami to operate as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet [summer 1971] until 1979.
