Title: Oceanographic Survey in Support of Fishing off the Coast of Portugal; 1971-07-19 to 1971-08-06 (NCEI Accession 7400378)
Abstract: The Oceanographic Survey in Support of Fishing off the Coast of Portugal (CAPEC) consists of several cruises to obtain, systemically, physical, chemical and biological seasonal data of the coastal area between Caminha and Vila Real de Santo Antonio. Its geographical limits lie between 10 .30 W, on the west coast, and the parallel 36 .15 N, on the South coast.

The fourth cruise of the Oceanographic Survey in Support of Fishing off the Coast of Portugal, CAPEC IV, collected oceanographic data describing a summer situation. This survey was accomplished aboard the N. R. P. S. JORGE between July 19, and August 06, 1971.

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.
