Marine aggregate and hydrophysical data were collected from the Pacific Ocean during the Thomas G. Thompson cruise TTN012 from 24 September 1992 to 21 October 1992. Data were collected as part of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study/ Equatorial Pacific Process Study (JGOFS/EqPac). Data were collected using a Large Aggregate Profiling System (LAPS) and include video camera and CTD casts. Video data include aggregate numbers and volumes.

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.
