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). To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis. |
Purpose | This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. |
