Title: WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from NICHOLSON in the Caribbean Sea and NW Atlantic from 1989-04-14 to 1989-12-07 (NCEI Accession 9100202)
Abstract: The data in this accession were collected in Caribbean Sea and NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ship NICHOLSON between April 14, 1989 to December 7, 1989. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. Eighty two stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 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.
