Frequently(?) Asked Questions

  • Are there any critical cron jobs or other processes that run in the background to support our DMAC activities? If yes, what are these and why are these set up?

  • Are there any manual activities that need to be performed periodically in the backend? If yes, what are these?

  • As a new scientist with a bunch of data in CSV format, how do I upload it to GLOS so it’s displayed on map?

  • How do I add a new buoy to the DMAC?

  • How do I know whether the information on the IOOS inventory (and monthly RA reports) is correct? How do I update the form?

  • How do I respond to user queries and how do I track them and assign them to appropriate dmac staff?

  • How do I, or can I, download data from GLOS?

  • How do we assist users when they want to pull large amounts of data (working with Thredds and/or point query tool).

  • If we have to redesign our entire system, what are the inter/intra dependencies between the various pieces in the backend that we should be aware of? For example - Thredds and Buoy portal, Buoy portal and Data portal, Buoy/Data portal/Thredds and metadata etc.

  • What do I do during the season when data is not showing on the portal (how to troubleshoot and how to fix)?

  • What do I do when a PI contacts me to add a buoy or station to a) the portal, b) GLBuoys (steps required by the PI and then what is needed for the system and who and how to add)?

  • What do I do when GLERL sends me 50-day consolidated model outputs?

  • What do I do when the PI fills out the metadata form but it is not complete? How do I know if the data provided meets ISO compliant standards?

  • What if I need to edit the metadata associated with the data I contributed to GLOS? What’s the mechanism to do that?

  • What do we do about missing data (or at least how do we respond to user queries)?
