Title: Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from THOMAS G. THOMPSON and MOANA WAVE in the TOGA Area - Pacific from 1985-06-18 to 1988-07-28 (NCEI Accession 9100061)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and nutrient data were collected as part of Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Circulation Study (WEPOCS). Three year data WEPOCS I, II, III was collected from TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) using Ships THOMAS G. THOMPSON and MOANA WAVE. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 18, 1985 to July 28, 1988. Data was submitted by Dr. Roger Lukas, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C100-Ocean-Station-Data file format of NODC.

Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Circulation Study (WEPOCS II) : shipboard chemical and physical data report, 13 January 1986-14 February 1986, R/V Moana Wave. [La Jolla, Calif.] : University of California, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, [1987].

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.
