Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: ATTRIBUTE STATEMENT: Field information for IMOS_ABD_DATA: RECORD_ID - Unique record identifier (Primary key) PROJECT_ID - Unique Project Identifier SAMPLE_ID - Sample identifier (Unique within a project) LONGITUDE - Sample Longitude (Decimal degrees, WGS84) LATITUDE - Sample Latitude (Decimal degrees, WGS84) SAMPLE_DATE_UTC - Sample Collection Date (UTC time) SAMPLE_TIME_UTC - Sample Collection Time (UTC time) SAMPLE_DATE_LOCAL - Sample Collection Date (Local time) SAMPLE_TIME_LOCAL - Sample Collection Time (Local time) SAMPLE_YEAR - Sample Year SAMPLE_MONTH - Sample Month SAMPLE_DAY - Sample Day DAY_NIGHT - Time of sampling if known ('day','night') [See Note 1] MIN_DEPTH - Minimum (Shallow) Sampling Depth ('0' indicates surface, '-999' indicates unknown) MAX_DEPTH - Maximum (Deep) Sampling Depth ('-999' indicates unknown) BIOMASS - Biomass Value (Note: units are specified separately and are not standardised) BIOMASS_UNITS - Biomass Units BIOMASS_METHOD - Method used to calculate biomass C_UGL - Standardised Biomass Value (Units: µg Carbon per litre) ('-999' indicates unknown) REPLICATE - Replicate Number (if known) TOW_TYPE - Type of tow used – tow direction (direction of net tow) NET_MESH_SIZE - Size of Mesh used (Units: µm) NET_ID - The numerical code for the particular net used, indicating type of sampling net used NET_TYPE - Type of sampling net (as specified in project dataset or Project citation) BOTTOM_DEPTH_MEASURED - Bathymetry depths (Units: metres) ('-999' indicates unknown) BOTTOM_DEPTH_ETOPO - Bathymetry depths (Units: metres) ('-999' indicates unknown) [See Note 2] Note 1: 1. Day and night were determined based on the local time of the sample using the crepuscule function in the maptools package in R. If time of sampling was not available but the Project recorded whether sample collection occurred in daylight or night this is recorded instead. Day or night was calculated for each record where a time of collection existed. There are some ...
