Title: Temperature Data From AUSTRALIA STAR and Other Platforms From Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean From 19860929 to 19890106 (NODC Accession 8900196)
Abstract: Temperature data from Australia Star and other ships from Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from September 29, 1986 to January 6, 1989. The data were collected by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Highlands, NJ and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The data was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. Data was submitted by Helen Philips to NODC. The temperature data collected at selected depths is available in the C125 Bathythermograph XBT format of NODC.

Supplementary information: The metadata associated with this accession were updated on December 7, 2004 by Suchira Pande. Discrepancies had been noted while writing the abstract and new bounding box coordinates for this accession were extracted from the actual data in the C125 file.


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.
