Good Morning,

Thank you for the additional information and readme.txt file. I will remove the empty directory and add your project webpage link to the data landing page. 

Would it be okay to update the coordinates to match the most QC'd version of the data? 
We would update the metadata bounding box from:
Northern Boundary: -20
Southern Boundary: -45
Western Boundary:
Eastern Boundary: 40

to

Northern Boundary: -20.85
Southern Boundary: -41.69
Western Boundary: 3.14
Eastern Boundary: 40.80

Hello good afternoon,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I apologize for the missing information. This is my first submission here.


1. The western bounding box coordinate is zero.

2. I do not know what the _MACOSX directory is. The zip file only contains 4 
dat files when I open it. Maybe it was automatically generated on your side 
or mine. I guess it can be removed.

3. I attach a readme.txt file with a description of each column and other 
useful information.

4. The name/acronym of the project is correct.

5. Thanks, I had not thought about a link to the project. This page can be 
used: https://beal-agulhas.earth.miami.edu/research/projects/quicche/index.html

Good Afternoon,

I am the data manager with NCEI working on archiving your dataset, "Title: POSITION - GEOGRAPHIC 
collected from CARTHE surface drifter in South Atlantic Ocean from 20230306 to 20230727". I have a 
few clarifying questions and suggestions for your dataset.

1. The western bounding box coordinate is missing in the S2N metadata record.

2. The __MACOSX directory is empty. Should it be removed or were the four data files supposed to 
be inside that directory. Is there any data missing that should be included?

3. I see the explanation of the columns in the comments section of the S2N form, but because the 
data files are all missing column headers, we either need to get copies of the data with header 
information included, or you could send me a datadictionary.txt or readme.txt file that clearly 
explains what each column header is and the difference between the four files. You are also able 
to include any other information you think would be relevant to a user of your dataset. This file 
will be included in the data package along with the data files for a user to download.

4. I want to be sure to include the full name of your project in the discovery metadata. Let me 
know if this is the correct full name of the project acronym you provided: "QUICCHE: QUantifying 
Interocean fluxes in the Cape Cauldron Hotspot of Eddy kinetic energy". If not, please provide me 
with the correct name.

5. Is there a project webpage link you want us to add to your dataset landing page?

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
