Coastal Circulation And Water-column Properties In The War In The Pacific National Historical Park, Guam

This data package was created 2025-12-03 08:06:47 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data are from a USGS and NPS collaborative study in 2012 to determine coastal circulation patterns and their influence on sediment, larval, nutrient, and contaminant flux along west-central Guam and, specifically, in War in the Pacific National Historical Park's Agat Unit and its coral reef ecosystem.

Data contained in WAPA_NPSTORET_BE.ACCDB (NPSTORET back-end file) were filtered to include:

Organization:

• WAPA: War in the Pacific National Historical Park
  Project:
• WAPA0007: Coastal Circulation and Water-column Properties in the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, Guam
  Station:
• Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
  Value Status:
• Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final

The data package is organized into five data tables:

• Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts
• Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations
• Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping
• HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations data table
• Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results

Period of record for filtered data is 2012-04-23 to 2012-04-23. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at:
