Title: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from FRANKLIN and Other Platforms from 1990-07-06 to 1992-10-18 (NCEI Accession 9500079)
Abstract: The water depth and temperature (XBT) and Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected from R/V FRANKLIN, between July 6, 1990 and october 18, 1992 by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. The originator's XBT and CTD data were submitted by Ms. Edwina Tanner, CSIRO, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia.

The output format for CTD data is changed in some ways. The basic format of the data files has remained unchanged, but now many files are concatenated into one. Normally, all stations for one cruise will be in one file, but, if data has been extracted for a specified area and range of dates, regardless of specific cruises, stations from many cruises will be in the same file.

Good information regarding The format of both XBT and CTD files is provided.

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.
