Supplemental 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. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: CENTRO DE CIENCIAS DEL MAR Y LIMNOLOGIA PI: Figueras, Dr. Alfredo Address: address: NOT AVAILABLE city: UNAM state: NOT AVAILABLE postal: NOT AVAILABLE country: MEXICO In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
