Title: Ocean circulation and other data from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) and other locations as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from 1972-01-01 to 1989-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9200081)
Abstract: Ocean circulation and other data were collected from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) and other locations. Data were collected by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) from 01 January 1972 to 31 December 1989. Data are in the WHOI floater format and parameters include East-West current components (U), North-South current components (V), water temperature, and water pressure.

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.
