Title: Conductivity, temperature, depth, and other data from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and ATLANTIS II in the Coastal Waters of Washington/Oregon and NE Pacific from 1990-06-01 to 1993-10-31 (NCEI Accession 9400039)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of Vents Program in Coastal Waters of Washington / Oregon, NE Pacific (limit-180). VENTS conducts research on the impacts and consequences of submarine volcanoes and hydrothermal venting on the global ocean. The program is directed toward achieving an understanding of the chemical and thermal effects of venting along the northeast Pacific seafloor spreading centers on the North Pacific Ocean. The data was collected by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, WA. These data were collected from June 1990 to October 1993 by NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and the ATLANTIS II. The four files contain CTD and light attenuation data collected from the Straits of Juan de Fuca vents in the northwest Pacific. Data were collected with a Seabird model 9 CTD and a SeaTech .25 transmissometer. Pressure data were averaged to 1 decibar. Text files are formatted according to NODC filetype F022. Data was submitted by Dr. David J Pashinski.

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.
