Yes please use 2017 - the "2015" is an error. Thank you, Vanessa -- Vanessa Raymond Senior Data Coordinator, Product Owner Axiom Data Science, LLC vanessa@axiomalaska.com from: Lauren Jackson - NOAA Federal to: vanessa@axiomalaska.com, Lauren Jackson - NOAA Affiliate date: Aug 1, 2020, 6:10 PM subject: NCEI Accession 0213519 mailed-by: noaa.gov Hi Vanessa, My name is Lauren Jackson, and from NCEI. I am archiving your dataset titled "Benthic Epifauna Biomass and Abundance Data, Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise, August 2017". I have a quick question about some information you added in the S2N form. I am adding your use statement (please see below) to the discovery metadata so that it appears on the geoportal landing page for this accession for users to see. I noticed that you reference 2015 in the statement, and I wanted to double check that you intended 2015 as this dataset is from 2017 research cruises. Please let me know which date is the correct one to use. "Users of AMBON data are encouraged to cross-reference the AMBON master station list file if attempting to spatially align or synthesize data across AMBON study disciplines. The station masterlist contains information about the station identifiers, locations, and bottom depth during the 2015 research cruise. At each station more than one observation or sample type may have occurred by different AMBON researchers during which alternate station names may have been applied." Many thanks, Lauren -- Lauren A.
