***************************************************************** Journal for accession number: 0203748 Created on: 2019-11-20 21:14:56 UTC By: Automated Ingest Agent Source: National Data Buoy Center C-MAN and Moored (Weather) Buoys Version: 2.2 Updates received on: 2019-10-03 Actions: Updates were received for this data set. These updates were copied into the data/0-data/ directory of this accession. These updates may provide additional files or replace obsolete files. This version contains the most complete and up-to-date representation of this archival information package. All of the files received prior to this update are available in the preceding version of this accession. 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 NCEI with ancillary information about the data submission. 0203748_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). 0203748_map.jpg - Sample location map for these data. data/0-data/ This directory contains the data information files as NDBC submitted them to NCEI. 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. The following is a summary of the differences between the data files in the previous version of this accession and this version: Total number of files: 284 Number of new files: 1 Number of changed files: 13 Number of files removed: 0 Number of files moved or renamed: 0 New files: NDBC_41001_201908_D3_history.txt Changed files: NDBC_41001_201908_D3_v00.nc NDBC_44013_201908_D6_history.txt NDBC_44013_201908_D6_v00.nc NDBC_44013_201908_D7_history.txt NDBC_44013_201908_D7_v00.nc NDBC_45002_201908_D10_history.txt NDBC_45002_201908_D10_v00.nc NDBC_46073_201908_D4_history.txt NDBC_46073_201908_D4_v00.nc NDBC_46082_201908_D8_history.txt NDBC_46082_201908_D8_v00.nc NDBC_46085_201908_D5_history.txt NDBC_46085_201908_D5_v00.nc ***************************************************************** Journal for accession number: 0203748 Created on: 2019-10-15 05:06:09 UTC By: Automated Ingest Agent Source: National Data Buoy Center C-MAN and Moored (Weather) Buoys about/ This directory contains files generated by NCEI with ancillary information about the data submission. 0203748_lonlat.txt - Contains sample locations for these data.
