Purpose: " This report briefly summarizes the geological and biological data taken off northern California before and duirng the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) by the principal investigators of the bottom stress/ bottom boundary layer of CODE (D. Cacchione, D. Drake, USGS; and W. Grant, A. Williams, WHOI) and other cooperating investigators of the U.S. Geological Survey."

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: "The sediment samples were treated with hydrogen peroxide solution to remove organic materials, and then sieved to separate the sand and finer components. Size analyses for the sand and the silt/clay faction were carried out with theUSGS rapid sediment analyzer (RSA) and hydrophotometer, respectively."
