Dear Yongsheng,
Thanks for letting me know that you have received the 4 separate packages I submitted to S2N yesterday. The Sentinel-3 mission is entirely different than the AltiKa mission- different satellites, different orbits, different instruments, etc. So they should not be combined with the existing AltiKa accession. The Sentinel-3 datasets should have their own accession number and DOIs.
I hope this helps, and I look forward to working with you on these submissions. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need additional information or have questions.Thank you,
Karen

Hello Karen,
I saw you had submitted the following dataset in 4 separate packages to S2N recently:
2020-08-19; SIP ID: KLE6WA; Global stacked sea surface height profiles from Sentinel-3A PLRM satellite altimeter data
2020-08-19; SIP ID: 8XWJH7; Global stacked sea surface height profiles from Sentinel-3A SARM satellite altimeter data
2020-08-19; SIP ID: UF4C5W; Global stacked sea surface height profiles from Sentinel-3B SARM satellite altimeter data
2020-08-19; SIP ID: URMK1U; Global stacked sea surface height profiles from Sentinel-3B PLRM satellite altimeter data
I am thinking that we may put them together to the previous accession which contains the AltiKa satellite data:https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0174134
We can revise the metadata include the content and title for this accession, and so the user can have one-stop shopping for the data from different satellites and instruments.
Let me know what you think!Thanks!
