The documentation below offers instructions for archiving data from PASSCAL instrumentation in miniSEED format with metadata to be submitted as stationXML. To archive data from a PASSCAL experiment, select the appropriate documentation for your instrument for instructions for preparing the data before transferring it to PASSCAL. For the metadata, PASSCAL offers software for generating stationXML for your experiment. Please see the documentation for metadata generation using Nexus.

For PASSCAL PIs who previously archived data using Antelope, our documentation has been reworked to generate metadata in stationXML format via the PASSCAL program Nexus rather than using an Antelope database to create a dataless SEED. The documentation for archiving data with Antelope is still available on this page.

The 7th annual Polar Technology Conference will be hosted by IRIS/PASSCAL on 24-25 March 2011, at the Albuquerque Marriott, 2101 Louisiana Boulevard NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110 USA. The primary purpose of this conference is to bring together Polar Scientists and Technology Developers in a forum to exchange information on research system operational needs and technology solutions that have been successful in polar environments.  This exchange of knowledge helps to address issues of design, implementation, and deployment for systems that are to achieve their research goals in the Polar Regions.

Happy 2011, and thank you for your active participation during the PASSCAL Pre-AGU workshop (December 2010)!  We appreciate your input and your questions.
