Hi Carla,

I hope you are well. I'm preparing a new batch of data for submission to NODC
(this is CARIACO Ocean Time-Series Project data), and I wanted to check a
couple of things about the formatting of the lat/lon and time. I always forget,
because data bases are different, so I always like to check. From what I
gathered from the NODC site, the time can be local time (in hhmm), is this
correct?  For the lat/lon, the longitude should be negative if it's degrees
west? This is important, as I believe our older data submission has always been
positive. Also, the minutes should be decimal? (i.e. -64.6789). Depending on
what you tell me, we may need to revise some older data submissions to ensure
the coordinates are accurate (though I know that our data shows up in the right
place in NODC).

Thank you,
Laura

Hi Carla - thank you for your quick reply. I checked our older files and they
are OK - I was looking at the wrong thing when I emailed you Friday (whew!).

Attached you will find CARIACO data from C183-C210 (2012-2014). For some odd
reason I can't find documentation that I did send files last year (C183-196),
so to be sure I'm sending them here again. The metadata is also included.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks again,
Laura
