Title: AIR PRESSURE and Other Data from YELCHO From Drake Passage from 1976-02-27 to 1976-04-08 (NCEI Accession 7700058)
Abstract: Surface Data was collected aboard the YELCHO. Data collected was part of the First Dynamic Response And Kinematic Experiment (FDRAKE) conducted in 1976, along the Drake passage. Data consists of surface temperature, salinity, and silicate. The data was submitted by the Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University College Station, Texas.

Data are in form of computer printout (13 pages), there are no tapes. The experiment was conducted in two separate legs. The first leg was conducted between February 27-March 13, 1976 and the second leg of the experiment was conducted between March 22-April 8, 1976.

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.
