An initial master list of all SOS datasets has been compiled to provide easy access to all operational and research SOS datasets. This list will form the NCAR/EOL SOS Field Data Archive where datasets are grouped by category (i.e., radar, satellite, etc.) and platform. Please review this list to verify that your dataset(s) are properly named and have the appropriate authors identified. Email any corrections, additions or deletions directly to  eol-archive@ucar.edu. If you already have your datasets available on-line elsewhere, please email the link(s) or FTP access information.

To submit your dataset(s) and documentation to the NCAR/EOL SOS Field Data Archive (FDA), see the FTP instructions below. For users without Internet access or if your dataset(s) are too large to FTP (e.g., 250GB or larger), please contact  eol-archive@ucar.edu. If you have a large number of files to FTP, please tar and/or compress (e.g., zip, gzip) your files before transferring the files.
