SALLJEX DATA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

 A SALLJEX Data Management World Wide Web (WWW) page has been created and is accessible from the SALLJEX "home" page or directly located at: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/salljex/dm/ This page contains relevant links to project and data documentation, distributed data access, and other collaborating projects' data sets.

 An initial master list of all SALLJEX international data sets (with links) has been compiled to provide easy access to all SALLJEX data sets (both operational and research). Data sets are grouped by platform and sorted by data type (i.e., aerosol, chemistry, meteorology, radiation, etc.). This list will be updated frequently. It is linked from the SALLJEX data management WWW page or is available directly at: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/salljex/dm/data_access_frame.html .

 If you collected data for SALLJEX, please review this list to verify that your data set(s) are properly named with the appropriate Principal Investigators (PIs) identified. Please e-mail any corrections, additions, or deletions directly to meitin at ucar.edu. If you already have your data sets available on-line, please provide the WWW link or FTP access information. Once your data set (with metadata) is available, a link will be provided from the master list WWW page along with a submission date to track future data set upgrades or revisions (if needed).

 Please submit your data set(s) (including accompanying metadata or documentation files) to the U.S. SALLJEX Long-term Data Archive at NCAR/Earth Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL). Data set (and metadata) submission guidelines are available from the WWW SALLJEX Data Management Page or by direct link to: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/salljex/dm/data_doc.html .  To expedite matters, the EOL has established an anonymous FTP capability to accept your SALLJEX data set(s). The Internet address is:

FTP: ingest.eol.ucar.edu
LOGIN: anonymous
PASSWORD: use your e-mail address
cd /pub/incoming/salljex

 It is very important to send an e-mail to meitin at ucar.edu, indicating that the data file(s) have been FTPed, along with the file(s) names, data contact information, any data restrictions, and appropriate file documentation (i.e., data formats, descriptions, acknowledgments, and metadata). Documentation files may be e-mailed to meitin at ucar.edu directly if preferred. If password protection is required for these data, please indicate this at the time of submission. You will receive a unique "user ID" and "password" that can be changed at any time upon request. For users without direct Internet access, or if your data set(s) are too large to FTP, you may send digital file(s) on magnetic or optical media (with documentation) by conventional mail to the EOL shipping address below.

 Thank you very much for your assistance in providing final data to the SALLJEX archive. Feel free to contact me should you encounter any problems or have any questions.
