Title: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from GYRE From Gulf of Mexico from 1993-10-28 to 1993-11-03 (NCEI Accession 9400017)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and Transmissivity and Fluorescence data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruise 93G12. The data from 15 casts containing 11,448 records was collected over a period spanning from October 28, 1993 and November 3, 1993. Data was submitted in one diskette by Mr. P.V. Pittman, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

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.
