Title: WAVE DIRECTION and Other Data from GILLISS from 1974-09-03 to 1974-09-18 (NCEI Accession 7601715)
Abstract: Ocean wave property data collected from the SAIL Pitch-roll Buoy as part of the 1974 Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) project that was part of the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). Data were submitted by Mr. William McLeish from NOAA/AOML/SAIL. Parameters include wave elevation and direction. The calculation of nominally 34-minute runs employed a procedure based on that of Dr. J. Ewing of IOS. The documentation includes the data in columnar format and plots of the data. The Ocean wave data was collected from R/V GILLISS during GATE 1974.

Supplementary 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.
