Elemental data is currently stored in MS Access Database. An additional Analysis Ready dataset is housed on NOAA server. Analysis Ready datasets area created upon completion of QAQC procedures, yearly, and are a long flat text file where replicate samples are averaged (at the Second Stage Unit) and all zeros added to insure appropriate calculations are made.
