Title: WATER DEPTH and Other Data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS and Other Platforms from 19690702 to 19780302 (NODC Accession 7800871)
Abstract: The accession contains data gathered over a period of nine years by
various agencies from the US, Britain and Federal Republic of Germany
(FRG). Data was collected between July 2, 1969 and March 2,1978.
Multiple German ships such as ANTON DOHRN, GAUSS, FRIEDRICH HEINCKE,
WALTER KOERTE, METEOR, VICTOR HENSEN and unknown platforms were used to
collect the data. Water depth and other data were collected using a number of
sampling devices such as bottle, BathyThermograph (BT), Mechanical
BathyThermograph (MBT), meteorological sensors, secchi diski and
eXpendable Bathy Thermograph (XBT). XBT data collected by R/V METEOR between
March 3-7, 1977 is included.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
