***************************************************************** Journal for accession number: 0066358 Created on: 2010-08-10 20:23:19 UTC By: Steven Rutz, National Oceanographic Data Center Source: The data in this accession may have been acquired by NODC in multiple individual data collections prior to about 1996. These data were either originally formatted as seen here or were reformatted by NODC staff to the format described in the file about/F015_format.txt. These similarly-formatted data have been bundled together into a single data collection (NODC accession) for ease of discovery and use. NODC no longer reformats data of this type into this format, although NODC occassionally acquires data in this format from data originators. Data acquired by NODC in this format after 1996 are likely to not be included in this accession. Additional information about this accession is provided in about/muldars_readme.txt. Similar data may be discovered and accessed in the NODC archives by searching the Ocean Archive System using data type keyword combinations, title searches or other means. Please contact NODC User Services at NODC.Services@noaa.gov for additional assistance. Actions: Data from multiple accessions have been copied to subdirectory data/0-data/. Files: about/ This directory contains files created by NODC staff. 0066358_lonlat.txt - Contains sample locations for these data. 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). NODC may have corrected geographic positions that seemed to be in error when generating this file. However, NODC did not change the original data files under the directory data/0-data/. 0066358_map.jpg - Sample location map for these data. F015_format.txt - Format description and codes used for NODC standard format F015. muldars_readme.txt - Brief description of NODC 'MULtidisciplinary Data Archive and Retrieval System' (MULDARS). data/0-data/ This directory contains data files processed by NODC during the 1970s to 1990s into NODC standard format F015. These files are a copy of files found in individual NODC accessions or a processed representation of data files found in individual NODC accessions.
