Title: Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from PELICAN, CHARTER/FISHING BOATS and ARGO MAINE in the Gulf of Maine, NW Atlantic and other waters from 1990-10-04 to 1995-09-04 (NCEI Accession 9600131)
Abstract: Hydrochemical, hydrophysical, and other data were collected from the CHARTER/FISHING BOATS, PELICAN and ARGO MAINE, from October 4, 1990 to September 4, 1995. Data were submitted by Dr. David Mountain of US DOC; NOAA; NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE - WOODS HOLE. These data were collected using meteorological sensors, Secchi disk, transmissometer, bottle, and CTD casts in the Gulf of Maine, Mid-Atlantic Bight, and Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

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.
