Title: PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON, cloud amount/frequency and other data from GAVESHANI and SAGAR KANYA in the Indian Ocean from 1976-01-01 to 1988-12-06 (NCEI Accession 9300181)
Abstract: The Marine Nutrient Data in this accession was collected in Indian Ocean as part of Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) project from ships GAVESHANI and SAGAR KANYA. The data was collected between January 1, 1976 and December 6, 1988. Oceanographic Station Data contain physical and chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. The bottle data was submitted on a diskette to NODC by Dr. R.M.S. Bhargava, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India. Data parameters include: latitude, longitude, sample depth in meters, oxygen in ml/liter, and phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and alkalinity measurements in ug/l. These data, except for the ammonia and alkalinity measurements, have also been processed by NODC as file type C100.

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.
