Title: Oceanographic data acquired in support of the 1980-06 study of the upwelling center off Point Sur, California (NCEI Accession 9000024)
Abstract: The Current, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected by Naval Postgraduate School from Coastal Waters of California between 2-19 June, 1980 using ship Acania. Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected at selected depths at intervals of 5m. The data submitted by Dr. Christopher N.K.Mooers in tape have been processed by NODC. The data is available in the C125 Bathythermograph XBT selected depth format as well as F022-CTD Hi resolution format.

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.
