Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute,United States
Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientists:
Charlie Paull, Jim Barry (MBARI). Mooring Redeployment and
Sampling data (vibratingcore, pushcore, ROV, camera) of field
activity W-2-06-MB in Monterey Bay from 03/21/2006 to
03/27/2006,

- Supplemental_Information:
-
Equipment Used -
vibratingcore
pushcore
ROV
camera
Notes -
cores in Bldg. 15 refer
<BR>
(1) Station IDs reflect the Tiburon dive numbers set by MBARI.
<BR>
(2) Sample numbers for the push cores are generally not consecutive but
reflect permanent labels on coring and other devices that are randomly chosen
before each dive, and many of the push cores are reused in later dives. USGS
sample protocol could not used during dives except for the Activity ID
(W-1-05-SC).
<BR>
(3) Sample numbers recorded in FACS reflect only those samples that will be
brought to the USGS for logging, description, and, in most cases, archiving.
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>

Bank's digital data, analog data, and
metadata is provided through...
