This is the standard bundle for National Oceanographic Data Center
(NODC) accession data. Each accession maintained by NODC is given a
unique integer identifier known as an 'accession id'. All information
related to that accession is contained within a directory using the
accession id as the directory name. The accession directory has the
following standard structure:

<accession id>: This directory

  NODC-Readme.txt: This file.

  about: Directory. Contains all accession related metadata including but
         not limited to the following two standard files.

    journal.txt: Text file. Contains any notes, correspondence etc. relating
         to this accession.

    <accession id>.md5: Text file: contains MD5 checksums for all files in this
         accession except for the <accession id>.md5 file itself.
         other metadata: ...

  data: Directory. All accession data is located in the 'data' directory.

    0-data: Directory. Contains the originator's data unmodified from its
         intial digital format as submitted to NODC. The initial source for
         this data should be documented in the header of the:

         <accession id>/about/journal.txt

         file after the keyword, 'Source'.

    1-data: Optional directory. May contain processed version of originator's
         data from '0-data' directory. E.g. unzipped, uncompressed, untarred,
         or otherwise extracted or modified data. A note should be found
         in <accession id>/about/journal.txt explaining how files in
         1-data were derived from the files in 0-data.

    <n>-data: Optional directories. Additional processed forms of originators
         data. Similar to 1-data above.

COMMENTS:

These data were digitized on site at the Ocean Climate Laboratory 
from the paper:

Johnson, Martin W. 1963. Zooplankton collections from the High Polar
	 Basin with special reference to the Copepoda. Limol. Oceanogr.
	 8(1): 89-102.

The samples for this study were collected from Drift Station Alpha by 
Dr. T. Saunders English, University of Washington, formerly of the Arctic
Aeromedical Laboratory, Ladd Air Force Base, Alaska, USA. The samples were 
obtained by a series of net hauls, sampling various depths along the drift
 route of the ice floe "Drift Station Alpha" a.k.a. "Ice Skate Alpha" during
1957-1958, within the large cyclonic gyral involving the northern part of the
Beaufort Sea.  This station was established by the U.S. Air Force in connection
with the International Geophysical Year. The analyses of the samples were 
concerned mainly with the copepods.
