USOS 2024 Data Management Plan

USOS 2024 Data Repository

https://csl.noaa.gov/groups/csl3/measurements/2024usos/data.html

NOAA CSL hosts data for these measurement platforms:

NOAA Twin Otter
NOAA CSL Mobile Lab
NOAA ARL Air Resources Car (ARC)

Data Download

Data organized by flight then data ID
Only ICARTT file format files (.ict) available
Alternate view available for data organized by submission date
Password protected if not on internal network

Data Submission

Data for all platforms is submitted online

Accessible through "Submit Data" button on Data page
Lidar data (in netCDF format) handled separately

Checks ICARTT file format and automatically submits to archive
Aim to submit preliminary data within 24 hours of each flight or drive day

Data Format Requirements

In-situ measurements should use the ICARTT file format

Refer to the ICARTT Data Format description
Filenames should follow this naming convention: DataID_PlatformID_YYYYMMDD_R#[_L#].ict
Assistance will be provided to troubleshoot ICARTT formatting issues

Data times should use UTC
Flight and drive data should be aligned to reference time wave

NOAA Twin Otter: Align to AircraftData time wave
NOAA CSL Mobile Lab: Align to MetNav time wave

Each ICARTT filename should begin with one of these data IDs:
