Title: Cloud amount/frequency, TRANSMISSIVITY and other data from GYRE, ENDEAVOR and OCEANUS in the Gulf of Maine from 1986-08-05 to 1987-09-16 (NCEI Accession 9300082)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from five Gulf of Maine cruises. Data was collected from Ships ENDEAVOR, GYRE, and OCEANUS. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 5, 1986 and September 16, 1987. Data was collected by University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH. Data was submitted in three diskettes by Dr. Wendell S. Brown. The data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi-Res file format of NODC.

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.
