Hi;

Yes, those are all the files.

The CSV file names were assigned by the manufacturer (PacificGyre), and are like organization_instrumentType_instrumentNumber.csv
SFOS = School of Fisheries and Ocean Science, our department at UAF
IT = Ice Tracker
number = the instrument ID

I've attached a screenshot of a Google Map representation of the track lines of the drifters. Caption could be:
"In this map, a white diamond marks each drifter's deployment location and a red dot marks the final location at the end of its deployment. Green represents drifters deployed on the ice in 2017, and the white and orange tracks are drifters deployed in 2015. Drifters continued to transmit if they entered the water."

Dear Liz,
Since there are some other unexpected files, I just want to confirm the following files are all the data files you submitted to NCEI for archive:

IceTrackers_metadata.xml

Could you please let me know the file naming conversions of the files in raw/ directory?
Could you also send me a image of the data with figure caption, and NCEI will publish it with the data, so that the users can see an example of data before they use the data?
Many thanks!
