Data are contained in three sequential files: ANT 283, ANT 383 and ANT 483; data were originally recorded in EBCDIC. Five record types are included: location, environmental (wind, clouds, pressure, salinity), sea ice coverage, a comment record, and bird census record (age, species, sex, color, plumage, molt, behavior, habitat, and count). These data were collected by George L. Hunt at the University of California, Irvine. The documentation includes a map of the transect studied and a detailed description of the record format. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 8600194 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.

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.
