Title: Water depth from drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea from 1988-12-28 to 1989-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9100036)
Abstract: The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected over a one year period from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, MS. The data was collected in Bering Sea from December 28, 1988 to December 31, 1989. The water depth and other Lagrangaian drifting buoy data submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl in a tape has been processed by NODC and is currently available in 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.
