Instructions for NASA Science Report Submissions
This page contains instructions for Operation IceBridge flight managers using the NASA Science Report submissions interface.
The following two tag-delimited fields must be included in the NASA Science Report "NSIDC Information" text box.
- Campaign region. To identify the campaign region for the flight, include the following in the "NSIDC Information" text box:
[oib_region]
XX
[/oib_region]
Where: XX is the two-letter abbreviation for the campaign: GR ">Table 1. Campaign Abbreviations and Descriptions Campaign Abbreviation Description IceBridge Arctic campaigns, (including UTIG flights in the Arctic, and any non-UAF flights originating from Fairbanks) AN IceBridge Antarctic campaigns, including ICECAP AK All University of Alaska flights mapping Alaskan glaciers - Operational instruments.

Copy and paste the list above into the "NSIDC Information" text box and delete the names of instruments that were not operational on the flight. An instrument is considered operational for the flight if it produced data that will be delivered to NSIDC. If the list is completely empty, NSIDC will assume that no data from the flight will be delivered.
Enter only one instrument per line, and use the above names exactly. Order is not important, but exact names are. NSIDC will use the instrument names to validate against our database of expected instrument names.
The following is a valid example of information included in the NASA Science Report "NSIDC Information" text box for the 2012 Antarctic campaign:
