Grain size analyses produced by Robert Reid of the NOAA National Marine Fisheries
Service for the NOAA/BLM Outer Continental Shelf Mid-Atlantic Project, Baltimore Canyon
Trough Area. Grain size analyses were originally contributed in the historic NODC
003 format for 113 sea floor samples collected from May 22-27, 1974 by the Mt. Mitchell
on cruise BC7401. Data 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 digital grain size database. |
