Title: Cloud amount/frequency, TRANSMISSIVITY and other data from J. W. POWELL and GYRE in the Gulf of Mexico from 1994-10-12 to 1995-02-02 (NODC Accession 9500028)
Abstract: The conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected in Gulf of Mexico from ships GYRE cruises 95G01 & 94P12 and J. W. POWELL cruise 94P12 as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research Program. The data was collected from October 12, 1994 to February 2, 1995. The originator's CTD and XBT data was submitted on one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. the study was funded by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30501.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
