Title: SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and Other Data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS From World-Wide Distribution from 1870-01-01 to 1978-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8800040)
Abstract: Each file contains data on Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly analyses on a 1-degree square for each calendar month of the period January 1870 through December 1894 (25 years) for the COADS project. Anomalies are based on 2-degree square mean SST's for each calendar month. Mean SST's are derived from data screened from years 1854 through 1979. There are a total of 25 files. These data are part of the comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere set and were gathered by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing, PRC.

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.
