Subject: Re: Nares Strait mooring data Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 17:05:01 -0500 From: Andreas Muenchow To: Melissa Zweng References: <4D599E6F.9080408@noaa.gov> Melissa: I would be delighted to know that the data are archived and thus preserved. I think it is also a requirement set by NSF that data collected with support by US tax payers are submitted to appropriate data centers for archival. Also, I have more data coming your way from 2006-09 experiments from the Canadian IPY efforts in Nares Strait. Helga (Huntley nee Schaffrin) and I received a very generous NSF grant to analyze those data. Keep up all the good stuff, you make us at UDel proud :-) andreas Andreas Muenchow muenchow@udel.edu Associate Professor http://muenchow.cms.udel.edu University of Delaware 302-831-0742 On Feb 14, 2011, at 4:28 PM, Melissa Zweng wrote: Hi Andreas! As you know, the data from the moorings launched in 2003 has been in the World Ocean Database for some months now, but I never did ask you formally if it was okay for NODC to archive it. So please send a reply that I can archive along with the data to confirm your permission, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Melissa
