Documentation forms for current velocity and direction data collection surveys by buoys and NOAA Ship Ferrel in the North Atlantic from 1971-05-10 to 1973-06-07 (NCEI Accession 7301004)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
Current and velocity data were collected in Boston Harbor and the North Atlantic in support of the Boston Harbor Current Survey, OPR-501-FE-71 and the South Coastal Plains Expedition, OPR-500-FE-73. Data were collected from NOAA Ship Ferrel and survey buoys from 1971-05-10 to 1973-07-07.
This archival package contains only documentation forms for these data, not the data files themselves.

Supplemental Information
This archival package contains only Data Documentation Form (DDF) metadata.

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.
