Don't skim.
Please work your way down this document, reading everything carefully. Don't skim.
If you skip over some important point, it will just be twice as much
work for you (and me) later.
Do your best.
This is the first pass at creating metadata for this dataset.
The ERDDAP administrator will edit this and work with you to improve it.
It is even easy to change the metadata after the dataset is in ERDDAP.
But, it is better to get this right the first time.
Please focus, read carefully, be patient, be diligent, and do your best.

How much time will this take?
It takes an hour to do a really good job with this form,
less if you have all the needed information handy.
Running out of time?
If you run out of time before you finish all 4 parts, just leave the
tab open in your browser so you can come back and finish it later.
There is no time limit for finishing all 4 parts.
Large Number of Datasets?
If you have structured information (for example, ISO 19115 files) for a large
number of datasets, there are probably ways that we can work together to
(semi-)automate the process of getting the datasets into ERDDAP.
Please email the administrator of this ERDDAP
(erddap at hipschman dot com)
to discuss the options.
Need help?
