Clouds, Water Vapour and Climate - Instructions to Data Providers

Preliminaries

Please format your files following the CWVC data format rules, and include all required metadata (for instructions, refer to the CWVC Welcome page, under "Data and metadata format").

To upload your data files on the BADC computer, you will need
1. to have registered as a BADC user and got a password;
2. to have been granted access to the CWVC archive.
If you do not yet have access to the CWVC archive set up at the BADC, then please apply for access to the NERC Clouds Water Vapour and Climate data. You will be asked to abide by the CWVC Data Protocol).

Uploading data

Data providers can upload their data files directly from their home computer into the BADC incoming directory, via the BADC Web based file uploader. This device can also be used to submit software and text files containing metadata or any relevant information on the project deliverables. Please have your BADC user ID and password handy. You will be asked to select a BADC subdirectory corresponding to your project(s). Subdirectory names are as follows.
