GLOBE schools can enter their measurements into the GLOBE data archive via e-mail. These e-mail messages will be received and read by a computer that will enter the data into the archive. Because these messages are processed by a computer instead of a person, it is very important to follow the procedures exactly as described in the following instructions. These instructions cover only the entry of GLOBE measurements into the archive. Normal correspondence with the GLOBE office in Washington should be handled through your Country Coordinator.
This document describes the procedure for e-mail data entry for GLOBE II protocols and should be used by all teachers who were trained after July 1996. Teachers trained before July 1996 should continue to use the GLOBE I e-mail data entry format until they are trained in the use of the GLOBE II protocols.
There are many computer programs available for creating e-mail messages. Your system must be able to send e-mail messages via the Internet. Since the exact method for creating a message varies from system to system, you should consult your local system administrator or computer expert for this type of information.
All e-mail programs will allow you to specify the address where the message is to be sent (TO: ) and the subject of the message (SUBJECT: ). There will also be an area where you type the text of the message itself. This information is required for entering data into the GLOBE archive. (Your system may allow you to specify other information, for example "cc:", "bcc:", or "attachments". These are not required for entering data into the GLOBE data archive, and can be left blank.)
All data entry e-mail messages must be sent to the following address:
DATA@GLOBE.FSL.NOAA.GOV
This is the address that you will enter in the TO: field of your e-mail message. It must be entered exactly as shown, without any spaces and with no errors. If there are any errors in the address, your message will not be received and your data will not be entered into the archive.
Trainers and teachers who were trained after July 1996 were trained in the use of the GLOBE II protocols and must use the format for GLOBE II data entry described in this document. To indicate that this is a GLOBE II data entry, enter the following in the subject line of your message:
DATA2
You must enter this exactly as shown, with no spaces.
The first line of the text of your e-mail message must be as follows:
//AA
This tells the GLOBE computer that the lines that follow will contain your measurements.
You will then enter your measurement values. Each line will contain the measurements for one protocol, measured at one site, on one day. Your message can contain as many lines as you need. For example, a single e-mail data entry message could contain many air temperature and precipitation measurements from many different schools. The data entry format for each protocol is given in the next section.
After you have entered all of your measurements, the last line of your email message must be as follows:
//ZZ
This tells the computer that there are no more measurements in your message.
TO: DATA@GLOBE.FSL.NOAA.GOV SUBJECT: DATA2 //AA <Measurement 1> <Measurement 2> <Measurement 3> . . . //ZZ |
The measurements for each protocol are entered in the text of the message, each on a separate line. Each line contains information about which protocol is being reported, when and where the measurements were made, and what measurement values were recorded. Each piece of information is separated by a space. The GLOBE computer interprets the information in the line based on its position in the line. We call each position a field. The fields are separated by spaces and the first field is the one on the left.
The first field on a line is always a character code for the protocol being reported.
The second field on a line is always the School ID of the school whose data is being reported in that line. The school ID is an 8 character code that uniquely defines each school to the GLOBE data system. If you don't have a School ID for your school, contact your Country Coordinator. (Remember that ZZZZTEST is used only for training. Data entered using this ID will not be entered into the GLOBE Data Archive.)
The third field on a line is always the site number. See later in this document for instructions on how to define a site. If you have only one site for a given protocol (for example, one weather station), then enter "1" in this field.
The fourth field on a line is always the date and time the measurements were taken in Universal Time (UT). The format for the date and time must be exactly as shown below:
YYYYMMDDHH
The first 4 characters are the year, the next 2 characters are the month, the next two characters are the day, and the last two characters are the hour. You must use two characters for the month, day, and hour (truncate the hour). If the month, day or hour are less than 10, use a zero to make it two characters long. For example, if the measurement was taken on March 8, 1997 at 1:45 UT, it would be written as:
1997030801
Remember that you must report the date and time that the measurement was taken, not the date and time that it is being reported. You must also be sure that you report the time in UT, also called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Remember that the difference between UT and your local time will change if you switch between standard and daylight savings time. Also note that the month is given before the day.
The remaining fields on a line will contain the actual measured values for that protocol.
Sometimes, there will be a field defined for which you have no
data because you did not do that part of the protocol, or because
the value was lost or corrupt. In these cases, you must place
an "X" in that field, so that the GLOBE computer will
know that there is no data to input for that field.
For all GLOBE II measurements, you must specify the location of all your study sites. Some schools may also wish to define more than one study site, for example to compare the hydrology of different parts of a lake. Defining a study site is done in exactly the same manner as entering data via e-mail, but need only be done once for each study site. The study site or sites should be defined first, before entering data.
