Data Summary

Abstract

Regional Data Series contain the individual project discovery metadata records and in turn are contained within the Global Ocean Tracking Network Metadata and Data Atlas. The purpose of regional metadata records is to reflect the organization structure of OTN and to facilitate systematic review of the discovery metadata used to describe it.
