How to use the Data Catalog

• First, you need a username and password to login.
• After login, you will see a Data Exchange Protocol page and at the very bottom you will see two buttons "Accept", "Decline".
• Upon clicking on the "Accept" button, you will be guided to your home page. Each validation team member has a different home page based on the sites you manage.
• For validation team members, you will see the site's name and site location you manage. Also you can search other site information (but not data) based on your search criteria. By clicking on the site you manage, you will see the detailed information about this site. On this page you can upload files to the QPQ validation web server and delete files that you uploaded.
• For science team members, you will see a data catalog search engine. You can search site information based on your search criteria (e.g. latitude, longitude, date, instrument, data product, etc.). By clicking on a site name, you will see detailed information about this site. On this page you can download data that is uploaded by this site.
