Title: WATER DEPTH and Other Data from SEDCO/BP 471 from 19900901 to 19901006 (Accession No. - 9000272)
Abstract: The data in this accession was collected from ship Sedco/BP 471 between
September 1, 1990 and October 6, 1990. The real time data of water
temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in
stripcharts by the Texas A&M University. Five stripcharts and radio logs
were submitted to NODC by Mr. Vernon L. Rockwell. 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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
