The current, temperature and wind data in this accession was collected over a four year period from 48 current meters fixed from 8 moorings as part of Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies. The arrays of current meters were deployed in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S). The data was collected by University of Southern California, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) from April 9, 1991 to May 8, 1995. The current meter data from arrays EP26-EP29 was submitted by NDBC via Sid Stillwaugh to NODC.

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.
