| Title: | WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from KAUFFMAN, GLOMAR CHALLENGER and other platforms from 1971-05-06 to 1991-10-28 (NCEI Accession 9000227) |
| Abstract: | The data in this accession was collected over twenty years in forty different cruises conducted between May 1971 and October 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. One box of these stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Steven Paul of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and is present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file 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, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
