Pittsburgh Coal Bed Point Data (Chemistry) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland
This dataset (located by latitude and longitude) is a subset of the
geochemical dataset found in Chap. C, Appendix 8, Disc 1, and used
in this study of the Pittsburgh coal bed. That dataset is a compilation
of data from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Coal Resources
Data System (NCRDS) USCHEM (U.S. geoCHEMical), The Pennsylvania State
University (PSU), the West Virginia Economic and Geological Survey
(WVGES), and the Ohio Division of Geological Survey (OHGS) coal quality
databases as well as published U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) data.
The metadata file for the complete dataset is found in Chap. C,
Appendix 9, Disc 1 (please see it for more detailed information on
this geochemical dataset). This subset of the geochemical data for the
Pittsburgh coal bed includes ash yield, sulfur content, SO2 value, gross
calorific value, arsenic content and mercury content for these
records, as well as the ranking of these values, which is described
later under the attributes in this metadata file. Analytical techniques
are described in the references in Chap. C, Appendix 10, Disc 1.
The analytical data are stored as text fields because many of the
parameters contain letter qualifiers appearing after the numerical data
values. The following is a list of the possible qualifier values: L -
less than, G - greater than, N - not detected, or H - interference that
cannot be easily resolved. Not all of these codes may be in this
database.
