Title: WATER TEMPERATURE and other data from MONOWAI, MELBOURNE and other platforms from 1993-01-03 to 1993-12-21 (NCEI Accession 9500120)
Abstract: The water depth and temperature data was collected as part of Global Temperature- Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP) from a dozen ships by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and Australian Oceanographic Data Center, Potts point, New South Wales, Australia. The data was collected from January 3, 1993 to December 21, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data file was submitted by Mr. Andrew L. Walsh in GTSPP format RAN/RNZN via FTP.

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.
