Title: Phytoplankton data from ALEJANDRO DE HUMBOLDT from North Pacific Ocean from 1978-01-08 to 1978-04-07 (NCEI Accession 9700071)
Abstract: Phytoplankton data were collected from net tows from the Alejandro de Humboldt in the North Pacific Ocean from 08 January 1978 to 07 April 1978. Chlorophyll a and phaeophytin concentrations were obtained employing the fluorometric method and were reported in mg/m3. Data are in a column separated value (.csv) format.

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.
