Waterbase-TCM: HazSubs Sediment

Data Table

This page was archived on 26 Jun 2015 with reason: Other (New version data-and-maps/data/waterbase-transitional-coastal-and-marine-waters-11 was published)

The HazSubs Sediment table contains disaggregated data on hazardous substances in sediment, measured at Eionet-Water transitional, coastal or marine water monitoring stations, provided by national sources only. Each station has been assigned a unique Waterbase identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the Quality data with their respective Stations data.

Table definition

Year	Year	year of aggregation period (aggregated data sets), or year in which sample taken (disaggregated data sets), in format YYYY. Year should be no later than that requested in the last Eionet-Water data request.	int(4)	0
Month	Month	month in which sample taken, values in range 0-12. If the month value has not been supplied the value will be 0.	int(4)	0
Day	Day	day in which sample was taken, values in range 0-31. If the day value has not been supplied the value will be 0.	int(4)	0
Concentration	Concentration	concentration of determinand in sample. In TCM data, concentration values recorded as below the limit of detection or determination should contain the limit of detection or determination in the concentration field, with the LimitFlag field set to <.	float(8)	0
BottomDepth	Bottom depth of sediment	depth of sea bottom at sampling site in m.	float(8)	0
SedimentTop	Top of sediment layer	top of analysed sediment layer measured from the sediment surface in cm. Value will be 0 if the top of the sediment layer is the surface.	float(8)	0
SedimentBottom	Bottom of sediment layer	bottom of analysed sediment layer measured from the sediment surface in cm.	float(8)	0
Organic carbon	Organic carbon	organic carbon content as a percentage of total dry weight.	float(8)	0
DryWetRatio	Dry wet ratio	ratio of dry weight to wet weight as a percentage.	float(8)	0
CountryCode	Country code	abbreviation of EEA Member or Collaborating country. ISO 3166-alpha-2 code elements.	nvarchar(2)	-1
WaterbaseID	Waterbase ID	internally produced, unique identifier used to represent the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters, and water quantity, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_NationalStationID (e.g. AT_RV_001), or the groundwater body, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_EWN-Code (e.g. AT_GW_AT001).	nvarchar(60)	-1
Nationalstationid	National station ID	Identifier of the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters unique at the national level.	nvarchar(50)	0
SampleID	Sample ID	unique sample identifier required if multiple samples taken on same day. SampleID default value is 0.	nvarchar(20)	0
Determinand	Determinand	determinand name.	nvarchar(100)	0
Casnumber	CAS Number	Chemical Abstract Service Number of the hazardous substance, as defined in the codelist.	nvarchar(30)	0
DataSource	Data source	source of data: Eionet, ICES, MEDPOL.	nvarchar(10)	0
Unit	Unit	unit of measurement.	nvarchar(13)	0
GrainType	Grain type	sediment type description. M=mud, FS=fine sand, MS=middle sand, CS=coarse sand, S=sand, unspecified coarseness, G=gravel.	nvarchar(15)	0
Fraction	Fraction	upper limit of particle size in analysed fraction in µm.	nvarchar(6)	0
LimitOfDetectionFlag	Limit of detection or determination flag	flag to indicate sample below analytical limit of detection or determination in format <.	nvarchar(4)	0
Sampler	Sampler	name of sampling equipment used.	nvarchar(30)	0
Basis	Basis	basis of measurement. D=dry, L=lipid (fat), W=wet, X=unknown.	nvarchar(1)	0
