CURRENT - DIRECTION and Other Data from UNKNOWN From World-Wide Distribution from 1939-04-16 to 1984-01-11 (NCEI Accession 8700122)
This dataset contains an "Atlas of Selected "Modern" Good Quality Deep Data for the World Oceans (excluding the Arctic)". This atlas was compiled by Scripps and contains a world-wide distribution of station data from various sources. These station data parameters include: latitude, longitude, date, ship, data originator, depth, cast, % salinity, % oxygen, % inorganic PO4, % total phosphorus, % silicates, % nitrites, % nitrates, pH, wave height and period, sea state, dry and wet temperature and pressure, and cloud type and amount. Format is similar to old NODC SD2 format.

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.
