Title: Temperature Data From AUSTRALIA STAR and Other Platforms From Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean From 1986-09-29 to 1989-01-06 (NCEI Accession 8900196)
Abstract: Temperature data from Australia Star and other ships from Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from September 29, 1986 to January 6, 1989. The data were collected by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Highlands, NJ and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The data was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. Data was submitted by Helen Philips to NODC. The temperature data collected at selected depths is available in the C125 Bathythermograph XBT format of NODC.

Supplementary information: The metadata associated with this accession were updated on December 7, 2004 by Suchira Pande. Discrepancies had been noted while writing the abstract and new bounding box coordinates for this accession were extracted from the actual data in the C125 file.

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.
