Source: Kevin Sullivan, NOAA/AOML submitted these data to former CDIAC via
The SOCAT automated system on February 16, 2017

Action(s): The original data and metadata files were sent to CDIAC as ZIP file
of the data and metadata, but "_from_SOCAT" has been appended to the name for 
sending as an email attachment. The ZIP data file was unzipped and transferred 
to the directory of data/0-data/ after data evaluation. NCEI personnel extracted 
the longitude and latitude data, and plotted a sampling station map. Both the 
generated longitude latitude file and the sampling station map were saved in the 
about/ directory. NCEI personnel also converted the .xls metadata file to .csv 
and saved it in the data/1-data/ directory.

Files:

about/
This directory contains files created by NCEI staff, email correspondence,
and other 'negotiable' information between NCEI staff and the data provider.

0161868_lonlat.txt - 
  Contains station 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 decimal degrees).
  NCEI may have corrected or omitted geographic positions that seemed to be
  in error when generating this file.  However, NCEI did not change the
  original data files under the directory data/0-data/.
