To submit your dataset(s) and documentation to the NCAR/EOL PERiLS Field Data Archive (FDA), see the anonymous FTP instructions below. If you would prefer to submit via another method (e.g. Globus, Dropbox, Google Drive, email, etc) please contact loehrer@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.

It is critical that submitted datasets are accompanied by a detailed documentation file. This helps to ensure the long-term use of the dataset. Each dataset MUST be accompanied by a Readme file that meets the Dataset Documentation Requirements. 

You can FTP transfer your data to the Archive by Linux command line or your favorite FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) via:

• Server: ftp.eol.ucar.edu
• User: anonymous (No password required)
• Directory: /pub/data/incoming/perils  (NOTE: perils is not visible from incoming, but it is there)

Once you have completed transferring your data and accompanying documentation files please send an email to loehrer@ucar.edu with the following information:

1. Dataset Title
2. A summary of the files transferred so we can verify full transfer.
3. Are the data considered to be in a preliminary (not publication ready) or final (publication ready, can still be updated later if needed) state?

All datasets in "Final" form will be given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) unless otherwise requested. Datasets in "Preliminary" form are not given a DOI unless specifically requested.

Once the dataset has been included in the PERiLS FDA it will be available on the appropriate PERiLS Master Listing of datasets, 2022 or 2023.

Thank you for providing data to the PERiLS Field Data Archive at NCAR/EOL. Feel free to contact us with any questions or issues.
