Data format: |
Note: Data users are advised to review the file STRI_OS.DOC and additional data documention files contained in this data set for complete details of the data file structure. The project was divided into 8 subprojects to study the chemistry of the oil and 7 different environments affected by the spill. Each sub-project was headed by a scientist-in-charge and produced 4 to 16 different sets of data each. Each sub-project has a three letter code, called the study ID (SID) which forms the first three letters of each file pertaining to it. Each subproject has up to 16 different sets of data, and each of these sets is assigned a single letter which is used for the fourth letter in each file name. Most of the files have the characters '_M' for the next two letters, indicating that it is the main data file for that data set. Files with three initial letters and ending with "_S" contain the species list for that subproject.

Data files are formatted as comma delimited ASCII files as follows: Each record ends with a CR/LF Each field is delimited with a comma Text fields have double quotes (") at the beginning and end of each field. Numbers have no quotes, decimals are included where needed. Blank text fields have only two double quotes - "" - delimited with commas. Blank numeric fields have only adjacent comma delimiters Logical fields are formatted as single letters with T for TRUE and F for false Date fields are formatted as 8 integer numbers - yyyymmdd. in format ASCII text and MS Word Data and data documentation held in both ASCII and comma-delimited ASCII files. Additional documentation as MS-Word files Size: 49.3 |
