Title: SOUND VELOCITY and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM and Other Platforms From NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and Others from 1986-05-12 to 1989-11-12 (NCEI Accession 9000121)
Abstract: The sound velocity and other data in this accession has been processed by NODC from a tape submitted by the originator containing Inverted Echo Sounder data from the R/V Endeavor cruise 205, October 1989. It also contains data previously sent to NODC for the Seasonal Equatorial Atlantic (SEQUAL) project for sites Sal and Sol. These data are in NODC format for pressure gauge data (F017) and the format described in the documentation. The file Sal represents observations from several deployments (overlap of instruments) therefore there are duplicates in the data. These data have been released by Dr. Eli Katz from Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. CTD data was also sent and can be found under track numbers TV5152-TV5154. Data has been re-processed and re-submitted on March 24, 1991. A01402 W18760

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.
