Title: PRESSURE - WATER and Other Data from KNORR From NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1981-04-01 to 1981-10-19 (NCEI Accession 8600274)
Abstract: This data set contains CTD data from The Transient Tracers in the Ocean-North Atlantic study collected from April 1 to October 19, 1981. the data were collected on the RV Knorr by the Physical and Chemical Oceanographic data facility, Scripps. The submitters were R.T. Williams, F. Delahoyde and K.M. Sanborn. These data cover legs 1-7 of this study. the data are in non-NODC format. There are seven tapes containing this data set. The tapes have been assigned the following reference numbers: L00522, L00523, L00524, L00525, L00529, L00530, L00531. These data are from originator's tape C and include stations 1-250.

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.
