Title: OXYGEN - AVERAGE SEABED CONSUMPTION from FIXED STATIONS From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1975-04-29 to 1976-01-26 (NCEI Accession 9200021)
Abstract: These data consists of taut moorings designed for long-duration measurement of temperature/pressure time series in the deep ocean. These data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) during the FAME (Fine and Microscale Experiment) and IIWA (Intermediate Internal Wave Array) projects. The data were collected between April 29, 1975 and January 26, 1976 by MIT Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Cambridge, MA using WHOI buoys. The data was submitted by Carl Wunsch and John Dahlen, refer to publication Deep-Sea Research, 1974, vol 21. pp.145 to 154, titled "A Moored Temperature and Pressure Recorder." THE DATA ON TAPES were originally recorded in EBCDIC; temperature measurements are in degrees Celsius and pressure measurements are in decibars.

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.
