Title: CTD data from the Labrador Sea experiment, R/V Knorr cruise KN156, from 1998-01-25 to 1998-02-08 (NCEI Accession 9800051)
Abstract: These data were received courtesy of Dr. Eric D'Asaro, Univ. of Washington/Applied Physics Lab and result from the recent Labrador Sea experiment, R/V Knorr cruise KN156. Data sets transmitted include 33 "complete" CTD stations, both up and down casts, unaveraged, 32 accompanying oxygen and salinity "bottle" data files and 23 CTD pressure and oxygen data calibrated to bottles. In addition, there are 5 accompanying documentation or informational files including a DDF form. All files transmitted are ASCII or ASCII text.

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.
