I'll go ahead and assign it an accession number after making those changes. many thanks, Courtney ------------------------------------------------------------------------ from: Lei Hu to: Courtney Bouchard - NOAA Federal date: Dec 14, 2020, 3:34 PM subject: Re: [SEND2NCEI] Data submission questions for Package: PMTKP mailed-by: disl.org signed-by: disl.org security: Standard encryption (TLS) Hi Courtney, For question 1: yes please update the end date of the dataset to 2015-02-26. For question 2: In the original file of the dataset, the researcher stated: The latitude and longitude of sampled sites. Dauphin Island, AL, USA; a barrier island in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The natural salt marsh site is located on the eastern end of the island (30° 15′ 8′′ N, 88° 4′ 58′′ W). The reconstructed salt marsh is 400 m east of the natural salt marsh site and located on the campus of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (30° 15′ 3′′ N, 88° 4′ 40′′ W). The latitude and longitude in decimal points for the two sites are 30.252 N, -88.0828W, 30.2508 N, -88.0778 W. You can use these two points as the exact locations for the data. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Lei ------------------------------------------------------------------------- from: Courtney Bouchard - NOAA Federal to: lhu@disl.org date: Dec 14, 2020, 2:31 PM subject: [SEND2NCEI] Data submission questions for Package: PMTKP mailed-by: noaa.gov Hello Lei Hu, My name is Courtney Bouchard from NCEI and I'm the archivist assigned to your dataset. I just had a couple of questions as I'm going over your submission that I wanted to clarify. 1. The Nutrients and Abiotic datasets have dates outside of the specified range that was given for the project. The project dates currently have a start date: 2014-02-27 and an end date: 2015-01-19. These files have dates outside of that range ending on 2015-02-26. I just wanted to double check if that was correct and if so I will change the end date for the project to reflect those dates in the date section as well as in the title. 2. There is also no sampling station location for the sites. I just wanted to double check that was intentional. The bounding box coordinates are in the correct location and reading through the abstract it doesn't seem overly necessary for your work, but in the interest of another user potentially using this dataset I thought I'd double check with you if you wanted to add any. Otherwise the bounding box should be sufficient location data for the dataset. Thank you for submitting your data. After clarifying this information, I will assign this data package an accession number and submit it to the archive. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. have a great day, Courtney
