Data archiving on land
After the cruise, the operator transfers the measurement data along with required meta data to AWI after consultaion with the data scientist and AWI Logistics. Then, the data including meta data can be extracted from https://www.pangaea.de/ (for authorized users only). The reduced DShip data set can be extracted from https://dms.awi.de.
