Title: Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from PORT HACKING 50M, STORM BAY and other platforms from 1989-01-04 to 1990-12-05 (NCEI Accession 9300100)
Abstract: The Ocean Serial data in this accession was collected as part of Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) project from ships PORT HACKING 100M, PORT HACKING 50M, FRANKLIN, MARIA ISLAND, NORFOLK ISLAND, HERON ISLAND, and STORM BAY. The data was collected between January 4, 1989 and December 5, 1990. Oceanographic Station Data contain physical and chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. The data from 1,634 stations containing 10,764 records were submitted to NODC by Dr. Neil White of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Tasmania, Australia. The data is available in C100-Ocean-Station-Data 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.
