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.

However, fees may apply for custom orders, data certifications, copies of analog materials, and data distribution on physical media. When requesting analog data from NCEI, the desired dataset should be referred to by the Accession Number listed in this metadata record. Because the contents of this archival information package are analog, you must contact NCEI for assistance in obtaining a copy of these data.
