Title: SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE and Other Data from MULTIPLE SHIPS From Sea of Japan from 1993-01-01 to 1993-06-30 (NCEI Accession 9300173)
Abstract: The sea surface temperature data in this accession was collected in Sea of Japan. Data in this accession was collected over a six month period from thermistor. The data was collected between January 1, 1993 and June 30, 1993. Two magnetic tapes were submitted by Dr. Osamu Yamada of the Japanese Oceanographic Data Center, Maritime Safety Agency; Hydrographic Division, Tokyo, Japan. Data were collected by various methods (XBT, MBT, SD); parameters include latitude, longitude, and temperature. The documentation includes the record format and a sample tape dump.

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.
