Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Temperature, depth, salinity, dissolved oxygen (CTD) data from MELVILLE, KNORR and other platforms in the NE Atlantic, NW Atlantic and South Atlantic Ocean from 1972-07-24 to 1989-01-13 (NCEI Accession 9500080)

Eight data sets of Temperature, Depth, Salinity, dissolved Oxygen (CTD) data collected in South Atlantic Ocean, NE Atlantic (limit-40 W), NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) between July 24, 1972 and January 13, 1989 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) using ships MELVILLE, ATLANTIS II and OCEANUS. Data from 789 stations containing 324,461 records from eight cruises (already in NODC archives) with GEOSECS and TTO-Atlantic data was submitted by Kai Jancke of Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, Hamburg, Germany.

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.
