| Title: | WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from DRIFTING PLATFORM From TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from 1989-10-31 to 1994-07-22 (NCEI Accession 9600093) |
| Abstract: | The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected from 766 ARGOS-tracked SVP Lagrangian drifters in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere project. The drifting buoys were equipped with 2 temperature and 1 conductivity sensors and collected data from October 31, 1989 and July 22, 1994. Peter Niiler of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA submitted the data via FTP. |

| 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.
