Title: Phytoplankton and other data from ELTANIN in the South Pacific Ocean and Southern Ocean from 1965-09-15 to 1969-01-17 (NCEI Accession 7000115)
Abstract: Productivity and chemistry data were collected on USNS ELTANIN cruises to the Antarctic region between 1965 and 1969. Data were collected on cruises 20-21, 23-28, and 32-36.

Supplementary information: The data on this tape comes from punch cards which were stored in the technical records branch of the National Oceanographic Data Center. In some cases the files listed are only general file divisions which were made based on a visual scan of the cards. The files may have been delineated by marks on the cards, by blank cards inserted between files, or by the file being tied with rubber bands. Therefore, the file divisions must be accepted only after a careful check of the data in the file. The major divisions by NAPIS number, cruise number, or other descriptor is probably reliable, but as with the individual files a check of the files themselves should be in order.

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.
