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. 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.
