Title: ANALYSES - ANNUAL SUMMARIES and Other Data from SATELLITE From World-Wide Distribution from 1991-01-01 to 1991-06-30 (NCEI Accession 9100173)
Abstract: Global blended Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) data for January-June 1991. Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) blended SST data was provided by Mr. William D. Newell. SST were collected from ships and buoys (in situ) and from satellites (POLAR AVHRR). Blended SST's eliminate biases or large scale trends in the satellite data by using in situ data as anchor points. The documentation submitted included the record format. The data can be currently found in the files 9100173.001-9100173.054.

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.
