DATA SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
SUBMISSION OF SBI DATASETS TO EOL
The NCAR/Earth Observing Laboratory has been given resources by the NSF to act
as the interim archive for SBI datasets. We are working with Jackie Grebmeier and the Project Office to assure that data are
archived and documented for both Phase 1 and 2 of
SBI. We are happy to accept your
datasets and documentation or provide links to data at another institutional or
PI archive sites. Note that we have
provided guidelines for the data formatting and documentation that can be found
at the main EOL SBI data management web site: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/sbi/
There is specific
information below on how to get the data to EOL and also notifying us that you
have sent information.
EOL will also facilitate the transmission of final SBI datasets to the Arctic Data Coordination Center (ADCC) for permanent archival.
Phase 1 Datasets
The initial data submitted is documented in the SBI Phase 1 data table on
the SBI Project Office home page. The url
is:
http://sbi.utk.edu/SBI%20I%20Data%20Table.htm
Please send an email to us (email below) note any change of status regarding
any Phase 1 datasets.
Phase 2 Datasets
Data tables have been prepared for each SBI cruise.
It should contain a complete list of all data anticipated from each participating
investigator. Those tables can be found
at the following url:
Please review these tables and provide updated information to EOL at the addresses below. All datasets and documentation should be submitted to EOL following the instructions below.Please contact us if you have any questions.
DATA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Please note that these instructions have changed. You must be using an ftp tool capable of
passive mode and have that mode activated for this transfer to work.
ftp: data.eol.ucar.edu
login: anonymous
password: your email address
change directory: cd /pub/incoming/sbi
binary mode: bin
passive mode: passive
move file: put filename
quit
If the files are larger than 100MB each, we generally recommend that you send
us a CD- ROM, tape, Exabyte
or DAT would be preferred, with the data and documentation. Remember that a CD
normally holds about 600MB of data. This process avoids potential problems with
large file transfers across the Internet. If you are using a modem link on your
computer, files larger than 20MB should be transferred via CD or tape.

It is very important that you include documentation with your data. Please
upload this file separately from your data to keep the confusion to a minimum.
Please send an email to gstoss@ucar.edu to confirm that you have submitted data and documentation to our ftp site or have shipped other media to us. Please email Jim Moore (jmoore@ucar.edu) or Greg Stossmeister (gstoss@ucar.edu) if there are any other questions. Thanks in advance for your help.
