Title: Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from EUPEN, FIXED PLATFORM and other platforms from 1958-09-27 to 1978-12-12 (NCEI Accession 9300139)
Abstract: The Ocean Serial data in this accession was collected by several different countries during cruises conducted by World Data Center-A. Oceanographic Station Data contain physical and chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. The Oceanographic Station Data observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. The data was submitted to NODC by Dr. Roger Bauer, Belgium Royal Institution for Natural Sciences. The data was collected between September 27, 1958 and December 12, 1978 using multiple ships. The data has been processed and is available in C100-Ocean-Station-Data 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.
