Title: ANALYSES - ANNUAL SUMMARIES and Other Data from NOAA-10 SATELLITE and Other Platforms From World-Wide Distribution from 19880701 to 19881231 (NODC Accession 8900037)
Abstract: Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) blended Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) data for July-December 1988 was provided by Mr. John J. Kundrat Jr. from the Ocean Products Center. SST were collected from ships and buoys (in situ) and from satellites (POLAR AVHRR). Blended SST's eliminate biases or large scale trends in the satellite data by using in situ data as anchor points.

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.
