WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from MULTIPLE SHIPS in the World-Wide Distribution from 1988-01-01 to 1991-11-05 (NCEI Accession 9100226)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
U.S. Naval radio message bathythermograph data submitted to NODC as part of the declassification process at the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC). Data were recorded in MOODS (Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set) format and submitted to NODC on a 9-track, 6250 BPI magnetic tape. The records and blocks are variable length. Documentation includes printouts of the data summary totals and dumps of the first and last data blocks. Arthur D. Stroud of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey, CA submitted one tape containing MOODS declassified processed data from January 1, 1988 to November 5, 1991.

Supplemental Information
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.
