Title: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from 1988-01-01 to 1991-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9100128)
Abstract: The Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set (MOODS), maintained by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, is the standard Navy database for oceanographic observations. Data contained in MOODS include observations of thermal and chemical properties of the water column from surface to bottom, the biota and currents in the water column, and the underlying sea floor as collected by oceanographic agencies worldwide. Although MOODS provides the most comprehensive collection of oceanographic data available, these data require analysis to provide insight into oceanographic processes in regions of interest both to operational Naval forces and Navy Laboratories. Arthur D. Stroud of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey, CA submitted one tape containing MOODS declassified data from January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1991.

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.
