CANON Data : Guidelines for Data Providers This page last changed on Sep 04, 2013 by kgomes. # Guidelines for Data Providers For the experiment, a central repository is available for platform data, generated products, and sample information There is an FTP accessible file share available on the server beach.mbari.org If you do not have FTP experience, it is recommended to use FileZilla, a free FTP client (http://filezilla-project.org/) MBARI IS is reporting some difficulties with FileZilla after the move to the new Atlas file server. They now recommend using FireFTP, an FTP client addin for FireFox. http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ Or if you are a google chrome user, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ehdgcfaoankkonoiichmblcfijkomfbn#detail/ehdgcfaoankkonoiichmblcfijkomfbn Log into the FTP site, and browse to the directory for the latest CANON campaign, ex. 2013_Sep server: beach.mbari.org user: canon pass: canon2011 ### Directory Structure
| The directories that are bolded and underlined are the directories where NetCDF files will be located and then those files will be served through the ODSS THREDDS server and loaded into STOQS.
The directory structure for the repository follows a convention that looks like the following: Platforms AUVs Daphne (Brian K) NetCDF Dorado (Mike M) NetCDF Processed (The products from the science data processing of the mission should go here (.png, .nc, etc.)) PortoAUV (Kanna/Jose) Tethys (Brian K) NetCDF Drifters Android (Tom O) NetCDF Floats (Francisco) LST_1 (Alana) NetCDF LST_2 (Alana) NetCDF Stella (Tracks only) Gliders Slocum_Teledyne (Fred) Slocum_UCSC_1 (Fred) Slocum_UCSC_2 (Fred) Spray_Line67 (Fred) Spray_NPS_1 (Fred) Spray_NPS_2 (Fred) WG_OA (Fred/Kevin) NetCDF WG_Tex (Fred/Kevin) NetCDF Hotspot: These are the files that are copied to and from the Waveglider. The SDB messages need to be published to AMQP Moorings ESP_1 (Kevin) NetCDF can.csv ctd.csv ESP_2 (Kevin) NetCDF can.csv ctd.csv M1 (Mike M) NetCDF already exists on elvis THREDDS server M46044 (Mike M) NetCDF already exists on elvis THREDDS server OA_1 (Fred) NetCDF already exists on elvis THREDDS server OA_2 (Fred) NetCDF already exists on elvis THREDDS server Ships Fulmar - Tracks only Martin (Monique) NetCDF Paragon - Tracks? Rachel_Carson (Kevin) NetCDF Western_Flyer (Kevin) NetCDF Products TBD Samples The goal is to have a web form in the ODSS that users fill out with information about their samples and then the ODSS creates a CSV file with the information about the samples that can be loaded into STOQS. ## ODSS Instructions for ship and for shore operations during Sept 2012 CANON campaign ### ODSS Instructions for ship operations during Sept 2012 CANON Campaign ODSS Instructions for ship operations during Sept 2012 CANON Campaign To send data products from personnel on the Western Flyer (WF) to shore: FTP to to malibu.wf.mbari.org if you are on the Flyer network (or to 192.168.111.177 if you are on the vsat network) as user: canon (p/w: canon2011) In there, there are several directories; the one you care about is '2012_Sep'. Everything in this directory is what one sees in the lower left panel of the ODSS situational awareness perspective. There are a couple of special directories 'roms'. This is a directory for the ROMS data files and this is pushed out to the WF. Only ROMS data files should be put here, nothing else. Do not add anything to this directory while on the WF - this directory is not mirrored back to shore 'misc'. This directory is the fully mirrored directory on the Flyer (5 minute refresh). If one puts something in this directory (either on shore (odds/beach) or on WF (malibu)) it will appear in both ODSS locations under the 'misc' tree item. NOTE: be careful of file size in the misc directory: every file added to this directory sweeps to/from the WF over the vsat link, which is expensive, so use it with caution and wisely. #### COSCI For this campaign, please do not email large attachments (plots etc) to cosci@mbari.org. When you do, each recipient gets a copy of the attachment, which adds up if the email has gone over vsat system to the WF one by one to each recipient. Instead, ftp the attachment to the misc directory, and tell in your cosci@mbari.org email the name of the file you want people to look at. Then only one copy will transfer across vsat, saving money. ### ODSS Instructions for shore operations during Sept 2012 CANON Campaign ODSS Instructions for shore operations during Sept 2012 CANON Campaign To send data products to personnel on the Western Flyer (WF): FTP to odss.mbari.org (or beach.mbari.org) as user: canon (p/w: canon2011) In there, there are several directories; the one you care about is '2012_Sep'.
