CURRENT DIRECTION, WIND DIRECTION and other data from FIXED PLATFORM from 1975-05-08 to 1992-02-11 (NCEI Accession 9700246)
Current and hydrophysical data were collected from Geological Survey current meters deployed in New England coastal waters (Gulf of Maine, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts Bay, Boston Harbor, Buzzards Bay, N.E. Continental Shelf) Data were collected from 08 May 1975 to 11 February 1992. Current meter data include U and V velocities in cm/s, rotor speeds in cm/s, current directions in degrees, and water temperatures.

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: US DOI; GEOLOGICAL SURVEY - WOODS HOLE PI: Butman, Dr. Brad Address: address: NOT AVAILABLE city: WOODS HOLE state: MA postal: NOT AVAILABLE country: UNITED STATES |
