Title: Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean, Coral Sea and others from 1988-09-01 to 1988-09-30 (NCEI Accession 8800283)
Abstract: This dataset contains one month data collected in September 1988 off of drifting buoys. Physical observations such as surface currents, surface measurements and time series are part of these data. These data were collected as part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (PMEL) projects. The data were submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl of National Data Buoy Center, MS and are currently available in F156 file format of NODC.

Supplementary information: These data files are in NODC F156 format. Documentation of this format and the codes used in this format are available in the about/ directory of this accession.

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.
