Title: SEA HEIGHT and Other Data from FIXED STATIONS From Mediterranean Sea from 19810901 to 19820930 (Accession No. - 9000011)
Abstract: This data set describes the Medalpex Sea Level project which took place
from September 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982. The main purpose of
medalpex was to understand the effect of wind forcing on the dynamics of
the western part of the mediterranean sea. Sea level data was submitted
to the Marine Information and Advisory Service (MIAS) which is the UK's
National Oceanographic Data Centre. There were 29 medalpex sites with
contributions from Belgium, France, Monaco, Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia and
the UK. The data is available in GF-3 format.

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.
