Small scale drifters, Spring 1995: Sea surface temperature data from drifters deployed from the R/V Seward Johnson in the Georges Bank from 1995-03-16 to 1995-05-24 (NCEI Accession 9800172)
Surface temperature data were collected in the Atlantic Ocean from the R/V Seward Johnson. Data were collected from March to May of 1995 as part of the GLOBal oceans ECosystems dynamics research (GLOBEC) project. The purpose of the project was to track biological distributions and investigate small-scale dynamics of the southern flank of the Georges Bank using GPS-tracked drifters.

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.

Purpose | To track concentrated "patches" of Cod and Haddock in order to guide the sampling of these patches, and to examine small-scale dynamics over the southern flank of Georges Bank, particularly those influencing horizontal shear dispersion. |
