Title: Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 1990-05-01 to 1990-05-31 (NCEI Accession 9000156)
Abstract: Surface current measurements were collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project from drifting buoys. These buoys were deployed in TOGA Area, Pacific (30 N to 30 S) by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, MS. The data was collected over a one month period in May 1990 and was submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl. The data has been processed and is available in F156-Drifting Buoy file format of NODC.

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.
