Title: Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea and others from 1989-01-01 to 1989-01-31 (NODC Accession 8900044)
Abstract: This accession contains drifting buoy data collected from 1989-01-01 to 1989-01-31 from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature, water depth and wind speed data were collected in the Bismarck Sea, Coral Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, Molucca Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Philippine Sea, South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) and Tasman Sea as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. The data were processed by NODC and are currently available in NODC F156 Drifting Buoy Data file format.

Supplementary information: These data files are in NODC F156 format. Documentation of this format and the codes used in this format are available in the about/ directory of this accession.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
