browse graphicPreview graphic
The accession contains Bathythermograph (XBT and Aerial XBT) data collected as part of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) / North Atlantic Bloom Survey (NABS) in North Atlantic Ocean. The data was collected by Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), and San Diego State University.

NASA-P3 AXBT data (depth in meters and temperature in degrees celsius) was collected during the JGOFS/ North Atlantic Spring Bloom experiment. There are ten flights total, with header information included in the first record of each flight. This data was submitted in ASCII format on a 3-1/2" diskette. This data has been processed and is available in C118 Bathythermograph XBT Aircraft file format of NODC. Principal Investigator was Dr. Frank Hoge of NASA, Wallops Island. Five diskettes of bio-optical and AXBT data [legs 4 & 5]

Bio-optical profiler data (up and downwelling of spectral irradiance and upwelling spectral radiance), ctd, and chlorophyll fluorescence data collected during leg-2, cruise 119 of the 1989 JGOFS/NABE (North American Spring Bloom experiment) cruise of the ATLANTIS II. The original data is on a 3 1/2" diskette in the form of 44-column comma-delimited ASCII files; There are 15 stations (files) total. Principal investigator was W. Joseph Rhea of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.

3100 bio-optical profiler data (smoothed irradiance and radiance data), temperature, and chlorophyll-a fluorescence data collected during cruise 119, leg 5, of the JGOFS/NABE R/V Atlantis cruise. Original data was submitted on 3-1/2" diskette in ASCII format. Principal investigator: Charles C. Trees of San Diego State University

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.
