Title: Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from NOAA Ship WHITING in the North American Coastline-North from 1990-04-20 to 1990-06-28 (NCEI Accession 9000151)
Abstract: The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected using SEACAT recorders from North American Coast line. NOAA Ship Whiting was used to collect data. The data was collected over a three month period spanning from April 20, 1990 to June 28, 1990 by National Ocean Service, Norfolk, VA. Data was submitted in one diskette of "SEACAT" CTD data. The data has been processed and is currently available in F022 CTD high resolution file format of 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.
