Source: Yui Takeshita MBARI submitted these data to NCEI
on March 20, 2017

Action(s): The original data and metadata files were sent to NCEI as data file
and the metadata PDF document. The metadata XL file was manually created by
NCEI personnel. 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:

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

  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/.
