Source: These data were submitted for archive to NCEI from the US DOC; NOAA;
NESDIS; Office of Satellite and Product Operations, as part of the Group for
High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) program.

Actions: These GHRSST data are received daily by NCEI, as soon as they
become available on the NESDIS Product Distribution and Access (PDA)
distribution server, through an automated procedure made possible largely by
the formalized procedures developed within the GHRSST, especially those
pertaining to data management, metadata, and file naming conventions. An
automated process downloads data each day from the PDA and uses hash digests
to verify the transmission of the data. Corresponding metadata are
downloaded from a NASA web service in XML format, if available. An automated
process uses a combination of boilerplate information, information from the
filenames, information from the metadata records, and information generated
by the NCEI archive system to create an archival information package (an
accession). On a routine basis, an HTTP/FTP/TDS dissemination hierarchy is
then constructed pointing to the data and metadata residing in the formal
NCEI archive file system.

Files:

about/ 
This directory contains files created by NCEI staff, including 'negotiable'
information between NCEI staff and the data provider.

data/0-data/
This directory contains files in their original format as downloaded to NCEI.

The file naming convention for the GHRSST GDS 2.0 is described in GDS 2.0
Technical Specifications: GDS_TechSpecs_v2.0.pdf (GHRSST documentation, NCEI
Accession 0123222).
