Title: CURRENT DIRECTION, CURRENT SPEED and other data from THOMAS WASHINGTON in the NE Pacific from 1990-09-16 to 1991-10-08 (NCEI Accession 9400213)
Abstract: The data in this accession was collected over one year period from Aanderaa RCM-5 moored current meters and ship THOMAS WASHINGTON deployed in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of Flow Over Abrupt Topography project. Water Temperature, current direction, current speed, depth, wind direction, and wind speed were measured from September 16, 1990 to October 8, 1991. 8 files of current meter data was submitted by Dr. Kenneth H. Brink of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. Good documentation accompanies the data in this accession.

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.
