Current meter and temperature profile data from moored current meter casts in the TOGA area - Atlantic Ocean from 1970-09-10 to 1980-10-27 (NCEI Accession 8600320)

Original Abstract: This originators data was received on magnetic tape from the Directoria
de Hidrografia e Navegacao (DHN, Brazil). Data was submitted by Luis C.
De Freitas. It contains current meter continuous observations in the
mouth of the Amazon river collected by the Almirante Saldanha in 1970.
The data were collected using an Ekman-GM at 7 and 50m depth.

Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
