NOAA NCEI Accession 0000045 contains data on suspended particulate matter (SPM), particulate organic carbon (POC), and other microbiological measurements from the Columbia River Estuary Turbidity Maximum (CRETM) project. The data collection period spans from May 1992 to July 1996. The dataset is published on the nasa_earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling the relationship between turbidity and particulate organic carbon in an estuary (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Analyzing temporal trends in microbiological activity within a turbidity maximum zone (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Correlating physical water properties with biological data for ecological studies (inferred from domain, verify after download)
Strengths
- Published on the nasa_earthdata platform.
- Data collection covers a multi-year period from 1992 to 1996.
- Associated with the NOAA NCEI organization.
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
- Last updated 1996-07-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
