Oceanographic data from the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) experiment, 1974-06-15 to 1974-09-23

browse graphicPreview graphic
This collection includes data from the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) experiment. GATE was the first major international experiment of the GARP. It was conducted over the tropical Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas under the joint auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The field operations extended from June through September 1974, with headquarters located in Dakar, Senegal.

Supplemental Information
Note: Preliminary metadata for this dataset was 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 datasets on an ongoing basis.
Purpose To better understand the tropics and their role in the circulation of the global atmosphere.
