It is critical that submitted datasets are accompanied by sufficient documentation. Each dataset MUST be accompanied by a Readme file that meets the Data Set Documentation Requirements.
To submit your dataset(s) and documentation to the SLC-SOS Field Data Archive, see the instructions below. For users without Internet access, ftp access, or if your dataset(s) are too large to FTP, please contact eol-archive@ucar.edu to discuss submission options. If you have a large number of files to FTP, it can ease the transfer if you tar or zip your files by day or what makes sense for your dataset.
You can SFTP transfer your data to the SLC-SOS Field Data Archive by Linux command line or your favorite SFTP client (e.g. FileZilla) via:
Server (hostname): data-ingest.eol.ucar.edu
User: slc-sos
Password: same password as field catalog
Project directory: slc-sos
As an example, the commands you would use on the linux command line are:
sftp slc-sos@data-ingest.eol.ucar.edu
enter the password at the prompt and then
cd slc-sos/2026_airborne
Once your files have been transferred, please send an email to costanza@ucar.edu with the following information for your dataset(s):
- Dataset Title
- A summary of the files transferred so we can verify full transfer.
- 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.
Thank you for providing data to the SLC-SOS Field Data Archive at NCAR EOL. Feel free to contact us with any questions or issues.
