Title: WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from DRIFTING PLATFORM From Coastal Waters of California from 1981-05-02 to 1983-05-10 (NCEI Accession 9100219)
Abstract: Three files of drifting buoy data, collected as part of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and Observation of Persistent Upwelling Study (OPUS) experiments. Data from files 1 and 2 were collected near Pt. Arena, California in 1981 and 1982; data from file three were collected near Pt. Conception, California in 1983. All files are in ASCII and have the same format; data parameters include date, latitude, longitude, north/south uncertainty, and east/west uncertainty. These data were submitted in a diskette by Russ Davis of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

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.
