Title: WIND DIRECTION, pH and other data from KIMBLA and COOK from 1982-11-29 to 1990-04-11 (NCEI Accession 9500122)
Abstract: The accession contains Bottle and Bathythermograph (MBT) data. Data was collected from Ships HMAS COOK and HMAS KIMBLA between November 29, 1982 and April 11, 1990 by Australian Defence Scientific Service and Weapons Research Establishment. Data from 134 nansen casts in NODC's SD II format and 329 MBT's in NODC's UBT format from Les Hamilton were sent via Andrew Walsh, Australian Oceanographic Data Center to NODC.

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.
