Source: The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) provided the data files to NCEI
using an SFTP service.

Actions: An automated process downloaded the data files from NDBC, validated
the data files, and copied the data files into the data/0-data/ directory of
this accession. The automated process also extracted various metadata from the
data files and created a station location map for the dataset.

Files:

about/
This directory contains files generated by NCEI with ancillary information
about the data submission.

0294244_lonlat.txt -
  Contains station locations for these data. Each row contains the
  geographical position where these data were collected (longitude in the

data/0-data/
This directory contains the data files as submitted to NCEI. The file naming
conventions for these files are as follows:

YYYYMMDDHHmm_hfr_<region>_<resolution>_rtv_uwls_NDBC.nc

where YYYYMMDDHHmm = numeric year, month, day, hour and minute data collection
started; hfr = high frequency radar; <region> = abbreviation of region from
which data are collected (akns = North Slope Alaska, gak = Gulf of Alaska,
glna = Great Lakes, prvi = Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands, usegc = Eastern US and
Gulf of Mexico, ushi = US Hawaii, and uswc = US West Coast); <resolution> =
data resolution (m = meters and km = kilometers); rtv = real-time-velocities;
uwls = unweighted least squares; NDBC = National Data Buoy Center; and .nc =
netCDF file format.
