Temperature and other data bottle and CTD casts and other instruments in the Mediterranean Sea from 01 January 1901 - 31 December 1995 (NCEI Accession 9900177)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Temperature, pressure, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were collected using theromsalinograph, bathythermograph (XBT and MBT), CTD, and bottle casts in the Mediterranean Sea from January 1, 1901 to December 31, 1995. Data were submitted by Alexandria Institute of Hydrobiology as part of the Automatic Meteorological Observing System (AMOS) project.

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, the NODC reviews metadata for all
accessions on an ongoing basis.
