The station data in the first file are keyed to the contents of the subsequent files (except file 4) by a key number. The key number merely serves as a link between the station data and various analytical data to enable the data lines to be kept shorter than 130 characters, the usual capacity of a line printer. In many cases, the key number will appear in two or three of the data files, indicating that several types of analyses were performed on subsamples of the same prime sample. Similarly, repetition of a key number within a single file indicates that analyses were performed on parts of a single prime sample - grain size analyses at intervals down a single core, for example. The core intervals or in some cases, sample depth within water columns are included in the analytical data files. return to top contentInfo: (MD_CoverageDescription) attributeDescription: RecordType: The Latitude and Longitude (point) from which a sample of sediment or rock was collected from the sea floor or a lakebed. contentType: (MD_CoverageContentTypeCode) point dimension: (MD_Band) sequenceIdentifier: MemberName: aName: Latitude attributeType: (unknown) descriptor: Distance measured north or south from the equator.
