The file data/0-data/disc_image/0061443_discImage_dvd.iso is an ISO9660 disc image of the CD-ROM/DVD product archived in this accession. The image file was created at NODC using Roxio Easy Media Creator 9. This file should be used only to create an exact replica of the original disc contents on similar media. A subset of data and documentation files, excluding executable files, viewers, and other utility files, was copied to data/0-data/disc_contents/ in an 'as is' condition directly from the original product. A data report is included in the disc_contents/ subdirectory, which contains an html web accessible document, which can be initiated by opening the file start.html in a web browser. The data from the DVD may be preliminary versions of the data that are also represented in the subdirectories Hourly_Averaged_Data and Basic_Sampling_Interval of the 0-data directory. Therefore, the contents of the DVD should be used for reference purposes only. data/1-data/disc_contents/ This directory contains PDF and CSV files generated by NODC that are reformatted from the PDF and XLS files from the disc_contents sub-directory located in the 0-data directory.
