Ocean circulation and other data from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and other locations as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and other projects from 1984-10-03 to 1993-06-03 (NCEI Accession 9500042)
Ocean circulation and other data from SUBSURFACE FLOATS from the NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and other locations. Data were collected by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and other projects from 03 October 1984 to 03 June 1993. SOFAR, RAFOS, and ALACE submerged floats were deployed. Data are self documenting or are in the WHOI floater format and parameters include East-West current components (U), North-South current components (V), water temperature, and water pressure.

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.
