This data set contains grain size data from samples acquired under the NOAA Outer
Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from the Outer Continental
Shelf around Alaska. Data were contributed by the University of Alaska, the University
of South Carolina, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the US Geological
Survey with funding from NOAA. Data fields include collecting institution, ship, cruise,
sample id, latitude/longitude, date of collection, water depth, sampling device, method
of analysis, sample weight, sampled interval, raw weight percentages of sediment,
within a given phi range. Some samples also have percentages of total gravel, sand,
silt, clay, and statistical measurements such as mean, median, skewness, kurtosis,
and standard deviation of grain size. These data are part of the larger NGDC Seafloor
Sediment Grain Size Database (doi:10.7289/V5G44N6W). |
