Title: WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from MULTIPLE SHIPS From World-Wide Distribution from 1960-02-03 to 1969-12-05 (NCEI Accession 9400139)
Abstract: These data compromise the Kiel Atlas containing 2 files; indian1.dat, 2/3/60- 6/18/66 and indian2.dat, 7/20/60-12/5/69 of primary productivity data from the University of South Florida as received by NODC's Ocean Climate Laboratory. The data format is contained in the data documentation file; data parameters include: Ship, cruise, station, position, date, time, depth, transparency in meters, radiation in g cal/cubic cm. per day, zooplankton wet displacement volume at 200-0m, incident light as %, primary production rate as mgC/cubic meter, chlorophyll-a as mg/cubic meter, chlorophyll-c as MSPU/cubic meter or mg/cubic meter, phaeopigment as mg/cubic meter, total pigment (chlorophyll-a + phaeopigment) as mg/cubic meter, dry weight of particulate matter (seston) as mg/cubic meter, particulate carbon as mg/cubic meter, protein content of seston as mg/cubic meter, and astacin or non-astacin content of samples as mg/cubic meter.

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.
