Title: Cloud amount/frequency, SALINITY and other data from USS O'BRIEN from 1986-01-01 to 1992-12-31 (NCEI Accession 9600057)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and bottle data were collected in North Sea as part of Global Ocean Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) project. Data was collected from Ship USS O'BRIEN. The historical CTD Saclant data was collected over a period spanning from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1992. Data was submitted by NATO Saclant Anti-Submarine Research Center, La Spezia, Italy. Bottle data from 994 casts collected between 1987-1992 from ICES were received via Robert Gelfeld via FTP at NODC.

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.
