Title: Hydrographic bottle and CTD data from 56 German ships from 1920-01-18 to 1989-12-19 (NCEI Accession 9800177)
Abstract: The Hydrographer of the International Council for Exploration of the Seas provided these files to the World Data Center A for Oceanography. They contain hydrographic bottle and CTD data collected by German ships during 1920 - 1989. There are a total of 54,496 stations from 56 ships.

Data are recorded in ICES format, as documented in "Manual on ICES Oceanographic Punch Cards", 4th edition, 1979.

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.
