I put all the files here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dVpYBW7Aj9HM1S37YMbaTxTqTYCXMrZc?usp=sharing The 2007 cruise never had a metadata file, but instead a cruise report, so I have not gone back and recreated one: Here is that cruise report:NACP_West_Coast_Cruise_Report.pdf The 2013 cruise was on 2 different ships (so 2 expocodes and hence 2 separate files) but I have one metadata file for both legs.This is the same format as what appears here: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0132082/ So in total, 7 data files and 5 metadata files - note the discrepancy for the 2011 data set for the ascension number between what you have on your page and what Liqing listed in the excel file: 2007 - data file only (W01_WCOA2007R_djg.xlsx) Ascension #: 0083685 2011- data and metadata (W02_WCOA2011R_djg.xlsx and WCOA2011_Metadata_djg.xlsx) Liqing has 0123467 as the ascension number, but I see this one too: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0157458/ 2012- data and metadata (W03_WCOA2012R_djg.xlsx and WCOA2012_Metadata_djg.xlsx) Ascension #: 0157445 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0157445/ 2013 - 2 data files and one metadata file that covers both data files (W04_WCOA2013R_Leg1_djg.xlsx, W04_WCOA2013R_Leg2_djg.xlsx, and WCOA2013_Metadata_djg.xlsx) Ascension #: 0132082https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0132082/ 2016 - data and metadata (W05_WCOA2016R_djg.xlsx and WCOA2016_Metadata_djg.xlsx) Ascension #: 0169412 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0169412/ 2017 - data and metadata (W06_SH1709R_djg.xlsx and SH1709_Metadata_djg.xlsx) Ascension #: 0208230 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/ncei/ocads/data/0208230/ I wonder if this 2017 data should also be included on this page here: https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/ocads/oceans/Coastal/WCOA.html Liqing added the ascension numbers in the far right column for all these data sets. I'm unsure if this is necessary to include in these data files, but if it is left in, the 2011 number may need to be fixed depending on which one is correct. Thanks very much for your help with this. -Dana
