Title: Water temperature, salinity, and other data from UNKNOWN PLATFORMS from South China Sea and others from 1959-07-01 to 1976-12-31 (NCEI Accession 8600383)
Abstract: The Peoples Republic of China, Institute of Marine Scientific and Technological Information provided NODC with historical oceanographic data. Two original tapes containing this historical data have now been converted to current NODC data storage system. Documentation includes station names, measured parameters, and the record format. One data set consists of coastal station wave data from about 1960 through 1976. 10 stations were sampled along the Chinese coastal waters. The second data set consists of coastal temperature and salinity data from January 1959 to December 1976. 14 stations were sampled along the Chinese coastal waters.

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.
