Source: Elizabeth Dobbins, University of Alaska - Fairbanks (UAF), submitted these
drifter trajectories in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas to NODC for archival 
purposes via FTP.  

Actions: Data were submitted in the compressed file, NODC_201503_UAFdrifters.tar.
The file was uncompressed and the files were copied to the 0-data/ directory and 
the compressed file was deleted.  Coma Separated Value (CSV) transforms of the 
Microsoft spreadsheet .xlsx files in the 0-data/ directory were created using the
Microsoft export utility and copied to the 1-data/ directory. The original file 
structure of the 0-data/ directory was replicated in 1-data/.  The original
file basenames were preserved in the transforms in the 1-data/ directory and
the file extensions were changed to .csv.  


0126984_lonlat.txt - 
  Contains sample locations for these data.  Each row contains the geographical
  position where these data were collected (longitude in the left column and
  latitude in the right column, both in degrees).  NODC may have corrected 
  geographic positions that seemed to be in error when generating this file.  
  However, NODC did not change the original data files under the directory 
  data/0-data/.

0126984_map.jpg - 
  Sample location map for these data.

0-email.txt - 
  E-mail Elizabeth Dobbins, UAF, notifying NODC that she uploaded data to the 
  NODC FTP server to be archived.

data/0-data/
This directory contains the data files as submitted to NODC.

data/1-data/
This directory contains files that were converted by NODC from their
originally submitted format under the 0-data/ directory to an archival
format.

*.csv - 
  Comma-separated-value (CSV) files that NODC converted from Microsoft 
  Excel files in 0-data/ directory.  There is one CSV file for each 
  Excel spreadsheet.
