Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature and other data from drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and others from 1988-05-01 to 1988-05-31 (NCEI Accession 8800196)
This dataset contains drifting buoy data collected from 1988-05-01 to 1988-05-31 from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Air temperature, barometric pressure, sea surface temperature, water depth, wind direction and wind speed data were collected in the Arctic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, Labrador Sea, Mozambique Channel, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Savu Sea, South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean and Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project. The data were processed by NODC and are currently available in NODC F156 Drifting Buoy Data file 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.
