Source: Data were posted on the NODC FTP by Patrick Robinson from
        the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC), on behalf
        of Dan Costa also at UCSC.  The transmission that began on
        2011-09-23 was composed of 157 data files and 2 metadata files 
        totaling 8,000,000,000+ bytes.  The ftp transmission completed
        the following day (2011-9-24).  The file 2008030_EsealV2.csv
        was posted by Patrick Robinson on the NODC FTP on 2011-09-28.

Actions: Files were copied to the data/0-data directory on 2011-09-26
         and 2011-09-28.  No further action was taken with the 
         originator data.

Files:
about/
This directory contains files created by NODC staff to document email
correspondence and other information pertinent to the data submission.

0077805_lonlat.txt - Listing of unique longitude and latitude coordinates
                     from data, in decimal degrees.  These data were
                     truncated to hundredths of degrees to accurately
                     reflect the precision of position estimates (~10km).
		     This also reduces the number of points tracked for
                     data documentation purposes in this file.

0077805_map.jpg - Geographic positions for measurements reflected in 
		 these data, which are listed in the 0077805_lonlat.txt file.

0-email.txt - Initial email from Patrick Robinson inquiring about NODC data
	      format requirements for entering data into the World Ocean Database.

1-email.txt - The email notifying the data officer that data have been posted
	      to the NODC ftp site.  Additional correspondence with the NODC
	      point of contact for these data are copied in the space below
              the email.

2-email.txt - This email notifies the data officer that the file named
              2008030_Eseal.csv has been re-submitted under a new file name
              2008030_EsealV2.csv, which is a more complete record for this
              sensor deployment.  Additionally, this email contains quality
              information for formatting errors that may have occurred during
              FTP transfer of the data to NODC.

3-email.txt - Follow up email explaining that the same temperature probe is
              used on the two sensor models (MK9 vs. MK10).

topps.png - World map of profile locations generated by Tim Boyer, while
            applying World Ocean Database quality control statistics to
            the data in this accession.

data/0-data/
This directory contains the data files as Patrick Robinson submitted them to NODC.

YYYYNNN_Eseal.csv - The comma separated value data files that are named
		    according to the following convention.  YYYY is the 
                    year between 2004 and 2010 when the data were collected.
		    NNN is a number proceeded by zeros when necessary, like
                    001 to indicate the Pinniped sensor deployment replicate.
                    A total of 157 such data files were submitted to NODC.

EDDF_TOPP_ESEAL_20110922.pdf - The data documentation file, which is a
			       standard metadata file used by data producers
 			       submitting data to NODC.

TOPP_metadata_20110922.txt - An additional text file that documents the data.
