***************************************************************** 2004-09-07 10:17:48 -0400: Journal for accession number: 0001701 Created on: 2004-09-07 10:17:48 -0400 By: Steve Rutz, National Oceanographic Data Center Source: Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS) via the NOAA National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC) division of the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) Files: about/ This directory contains files generated by NODC with ancillary information about the data submission. AAAAAAA_lonlat.txt - Buoy locations for these data. Each row contains the geographical position for a buoy (longitude in the left column and latitude in the right column, both in degrees). Note: AAAAAAA in the file name indicates the NODC Accession Number. AAAAAAA_map.jpg - Buoy location map for these data. data/0-data/ This directory contains the following files as submitted to NODC (note: * is a wildcard used to indicate multiple file names): *.nc - Data files in netCDF format. There is one such file for each instrument or suite of similar instruments attached to a buoy. Information about netCDF files and software to access them can be obtained from Unidata. NCDDC generated these files by extracting data from netCDF files on a GoMOOS server. NCDDC extracted data that GoMOOS collected the previous week. Note: File M0105.sbe37.realtime.250m.nc.error was renamed M0105.sbe37.realtime.250m.nc by NODC, because it is a netCDF file and this file's contents says that its file name is M0105.sbe37.realtime.250m.nc, not M0105.sbe37.realtime.250m.nc.error. Although there does not appear to be any useful data, there may be some useful metadata within this file. data/1-data/ This directory contains files that were converted by NODC from their originally submitted format in the 0-data/ directory to an archival format. *.txt - NODC created these plain ASCII/text files from the netCDF-formatted data files by using Unidata's ncdump program.
