GHRC Field Campaign Dataset/Instrument Fact Sheet

Instructions: The GHRC Data Management Group (DMG) will be assisting you with the archive and distribution of the data and/or quicklookswhich you collected during the field experiment. The following information will help us provide for correct metadata informationfor the dataset and for the final inclusion and publication of your dataset into the Earth Observing System Search System Reverb and the GHRC Field Catalog (HyDRO) and also in the Global Change MasterDirectory (GCMD). Question 16 requests any additional information not specifically requested. Return this document, or address any questions to the GHRC Data Management Group at with email subject “ HS3catalog”.

Note: If documentation has been previously uploaded, GHRC will complete this form and send to the Principal Investigator for review.
