SIPSMetGen Spatial Input File Sample |
Review the sample and create Spatial Input Files. Spatial Input Files are text files containing Longitude / Latitude coordinate pairs, one pair per row separated by whitespace. A spatial file for each data file is created to specify bounding rectangle geometry for the data files. |
SIPSMetGen Pre-Met File Sample |
Review the sample and create Pre-Met Files. Pre-Met Files are text files that contain metadata attributes and their values. A pre-met file must be created for each data file and is used by SIPSMetGen to construct standards-compliant file-level matadata for ingest and data discovery. |
Data Transfer Manifest |
Complete the Data Manifest Template in preparation for delivery of data files. The data manifest is a text file included by data providers with every batch of data transferred to NSIDC DAAC. The manifest provides information required by NSIDC to ingest the data in a timely manner and verify that all files have been received. |
