| 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 1991-07-01 to 1991-07-31 (NCEI Accession 9100161) |
| Abstract: | The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected over a one month period from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, MS in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S). The data was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere project from July 1, 1991 to July 31, 1991. The water depth and other drifting buoy data submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format. |

| Supplementary information: | These data files are in NODC F156 format. Documentation of this format and the codes used in this format are available in the about/ directory of this accession. 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.
