Oceanographic data and metadata integration issues (XBT fall rate equation, SSS, etc.)

Author(s) Tim Boyer, Shawn Smith, Scott Woodruff, and Steve Worley (USA)
Summary The document provides information on oceanographic data and metadata integration issues, including with regard to facilitating access through ICOADS to sea surface salinity (SSS) data, and potentially also to selected pCO2 and nutrient elements. Also, a brief update is provided on recent work seeking to resolve expendable bathythermograph (XBT) fall-rate equation biases.
