Title: Historical sea surface temperature and salinity data from various platforms in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1938-11-27 to 1976-01-27 (NCEI Accession 7601422)
Abstract: Historical sea surface temperature and salinity data submitted by D. Kohnke of the German data center (DOD) in Hamburg. The data include surface temperature and salinity, collected by german ships in the North Sea, Newfoundland, the Baltic and in the vicinity of West Africa areas. Following is a list of ships, study dates, and associated NODC reference numbers: Anton Dohrn 1958-1974, L01187; Walter Herwig 1973-1974, L01188; Uthorn 1950-1958, L01189; Gauss 1961, L01190; Meteor 1973-1974, L01191; Komet 1973, L01192; Eem/Ost 1938-1939, L01193; unknown ships 1953-1972, L01194 and unknown ships 1970-1973, L01195. Bathy Therm (bt) data was processed by NODC. All data originally received on tape have been converted to current NODC storage media.

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.
