Metadata field: water_depth_meters
Studies:
- Zhang_2024_deepsea (127 samples)
- Bao_2023_Pearl_River_Estuary (34 samples)
Scope: environmental
Type: string (usually translating to a number, but sometimes papers give depth ranges)
Description: For sediment samples: the water depth at the sampling location. An exact depth is preferred, but sometimes sources give ranges (e.g. "1-2"). These have been be left as is in Metalog database and need to be handled by the user.
In contrast, depth_meters gives the water depth for (ocean) water samples, while it gives
the depth below ground for soil/sediment samples.
