To submit your dataset(s) and documentation to the NCAR/EOL SNOWIE Field Data Archive (FDA), see the SFTP instructions below. If you would prefer to submit via another method (e.g. Globus, Dropbox, Google Drive, email, etc) please contact eol-archive@ucar.edu . If you have a large number of files to SFTP, 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 SFTP transfer your data to the Archive by Linux command line or your favorite SFTP client (e.g. FileZilla) via:

• Server: data-ingest.eol.ucar.edu
• User: snowie 
• Password: send an email to eol-archive@ucar.edu for the password
• Directory: snowie

As an example, the commands you would use on the linux command line are:

sftp snowie@data-ingest.eol.ucar.edu
enter the password at the prompt and then
cd snowie
put your files in this directory

Once you have completed transferring your data and accompanying documentation files please send an email to eol-archive@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 ICECHIP FDA it will be available on the NCAR/EOL ICECHIP Field Data Archive (FDA) web page.

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