Each row contains the geographical position where these data were collected (longitude in the left column and latitude in the right column, both in degrees). 0082371_map.jpg - Sample location map for these data. FGDC-NDBC_CMANWx-2011-11.xml - Metadata record for the archived data, in Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (FGDC-STD-001-1998) XML format. dirinfo.txt - A text file, which contains the year/month of data collection, to facilitate NODC's online dissemination of this data set. data/0-data/ This directory contains the data information files as NDBC submitted them to NODC. The file naming conventions for these files are as follows: Data from C-MAN and moored buoys (except for ADCP): NDBC__YYYYMM_D_v.nc ADCP data from moored buoys: NDBC__YYYYMM_D_adcp_v.nc Information about the processing of the data: NDBC__YYYYMM_D_history.txt where = 5-character alpha-numeric string, which the World Meteorological Organization assigned, to identify C-MAN stations and moored buoys; YYYYMM = numeric year and month that NDBC collected the data; = unique number assigned to specific station configuration, sequentially assigned by the NDBC database system (lower number = older configuration and a higher number = a newer configuration); = two-digit number that NDBC uses to track their version of the data, starting with 00; .nc = netCDF (version 4) file extension; and .txt = ASCII/text file extension. ***************************************************************** NODC accession number: 0082371 Version: 2.2 Updated on: 2012-03-16 13:16:24 UTC By: Automated Ingest Agent Version 2.2 - This version of this accession contains new data and metadata files. The new data files are in the netCDF-4 format with one file per buoy* and replace either F291 data in an ARCH file (see Case 1 below) or an earlier version of a netCDF file (see Case 2 below). In addition, there will is one history.txt for each buoy (see "information about processing of the data" in data/0-data/ below). The about/ directory also contains updated metadata for this accession. *Buoys with ADCP data have an additional netCDF file. Case 1: ARCH files contain data from multiple buoys in a single file. If new netCDF files were available for all buoys in an ARCH file, the ARCH file was removed in this version. If netCDF files were available for a subset of the buoys in an ARCH file, this version contains the ARCH file and the replacement netCDF file(s). Utilizing the data in a netCDF file will provide the user with the most accurate and complete data available. Case 2: When revised netCDF files are available for a specific buoy, they will be replaced in this accession and can be identified by the change in version number in the file name as well as being listed under "Changed files:" below. about/ This directory contains files generated by NODC with ancillary information about the data submission. 0082371_lonlat.txt - Contains sample locations for these data.
