# Data Librarian Notes
This Sentry Data package published by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The Data files are currently hosted by the National Deep Submergence Facility. 

This package is the complete data package prepared by the Sentry team at sea. Some parts of the data package will be available in other locations. We will update the metadata to include references to these data as they are available.

Included in this record are links to the package available via http server and wget (using -nP and robots=off). This document will be versioned when new services are available. The WHOI Data Librarian can create custom packages of the data which can be delivered to users via a number of data sharing technologies. 

Please contact dla@whoi.edu for these services or questions about the data packages. For commercial licensing information, contact media@whoi.edu.
