Title: ABSORPTION, SCATTERING, ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS and Other Data from NOAA-11 SATELLITE from 19940101 to 19941206 (NODC Accession 9400020)
Abstract: The Sea surface topography, absorption, scattering, attenuation coefficients and other data used to develop AVHRR satellite products in this accession was collected from NOAA-11 satellite in East Coast US/Canada as part of Coastal Ocean Program / Coastwatch. The data was collected between January 1, 1994 and December 6, 1994 by National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), Suitland, MD.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
