Title: PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON, cloud amount/frequency and other data from GYRE in the Gulf of Mexico from 1992-04-01 to 1992-04-09 (NCEI Accession 9200104)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and transmissivity data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program (NODC project code 0215) east of Galveston, utilizing a SEABIRD CTD - model SBE9 and a 25cm SEATECH transmissometer. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 1, 1992 to April 9, 1992. Data was submitted on a 5-1/4" diskette by Mr David J. Voegele, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. 26 files were submitted in ASCII with header information included for each file; data were averaged over 1-meter intervals. The documentation includes the data record format. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format 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.
