Title: WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from VIGO, ST KITTS and other platforms from 1947-08-14 to 1983-10-09 (NCEI Accession 9100112)
Abstract: The water depth and temperature data was collected using over 45 different ships from August 1947 to October 1983. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a tape containing 7,537 observations by Ted Dalzell of Hydro Department, Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116-Bathythermograph-XBT and C128-Bathythermograph-MBT file formats of NODC.

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.
