Title: Physical and meteorological data from buoys from the NW Pacific (limit-180) by the Japan Meteorological Agency and other institutions from 1978-01-01 to 1991-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9400143)
Abstract: Buoy data was collected in the NW Pacific (limit-180) from 01 January 1978 to 31 December 1991. Data were collected by the Japan Meteorological Agency and other institutions. Additional funding for digitizing historic data were provided by the Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) project. Parameters include air pressure, wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, wave period, water temperature, and wet bulb temperature.

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.
