Subject: NOS-MOA-2011-80 (Annex #1) - Data Submission #6 (FINAL) to Accession 0093399

Hello,

This email is notification of the final data submission for accession number 0093399. Please 
see file Accession_0093399_v2.zip, which has been uploaded to the NCEI FTP server at 
ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/incoming/. New data, revised data, and a copy of previously 
submitted data have been included in this submittal. This data delivery contains all data 
submitted under Annex 1 to the original data sharing agreement between NOAA and 
ConocoPhillips, Shell, and Statoil in an effort keep current versions of data in the most 
recent version of the accession 0093399 archive file. Much of the data shared under Annex 1 
was data collected through the Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP). Please 
note that CSESP concluded its seventh and final field season in 2014. This is the last 
planned data submission under Annex 1 for accession 0093399.

New data in this submittal includes 2014 vessel meteorological data (fixed station CTD and 
vessel mounted TSG). Meteorological buoy metadata in this submission have been updated to 
indicate whether values are in magnetic or true north. Note that accession 0093399 includes 
metrological buoy data from 2008-2011 while 2012-2015 data were archived through NDBC.

Attached to this email is a CSV file that contains the name of all the files that have been 
uploaded in Accession_093399_v2.zip. The CSV file 
(20151120_Accession_0093399_ListOfFiles.csv) contains three columns of information and one 
record for each of the 311 files transferred through this submittal. Below is an explanation 
of the fields in the CSV file.

DATA TYPE

This submittal contains four broad categories of data: ice tracking drifter, met buoy, 
upward looking sonar, and vessel meteorological data.

1. Ice Tracking Drifter - Ocean current data and metadata from the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas

2. Met Buoy  Meteorological buoy data and metadata from the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas

3. Upward Looking Sonar  Moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), ice profiling 
sonar (IPS), and acoustic wave and current meter (AWAC) data and metadata from the Chukchi 
and Beaufort Seas.

4. Vessel Met  Vessel mounted ADCP and thermosalinograph (TSG) data, and conductivity 
temperature depth (CTD) cast data from the Chukchi Sea.

FILE

This field within the CSV contains either the data or metadata file name, or the file name 
in addition to the folder name that the file has been placed in. At the request of the data 
owners, the moored ADCP and IPS file names were not changed for this data sharing effort. 
Instead, the files have been placed in folders with descriptive names that include the data 
owner, the type of data, the data location or location reference, and the year(s) the data 
was collected.

DATA / METADATA

This field indicates whether the file name listed is a data set or metadata file.

Thank you,

Christie
