Title: Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean and others from 1989-12-01 to 1989-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9000035)
Abstract: The data in this accession was collected from drifting buoys deployed as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project in December 1989. The surface current measurement data was submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl of National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Stennis Space Center, MS. The data has been processed by NODC and is available in the NODC F156-Drifting Buoy file format.

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.
