Template Datasheet For Real-Time North Atlantic Right Whale Acoustic and Visual Observation Data
Real-Time NARW Reporting Template |
To correctly submit real-time North Atlantic right whale (NARW) observations, the above template must be used and submitted as a .csv immediately (if not feasible, as soon as possible and no longer than 24-hours) after the observation.
The file contains tabs with: 1) blank template to fill out; 2) README information and clarification on how to use the template; 3) field definitions to describe the expected input and format for each column; and 4) instructions on formatting and naming the file before submission. Once formatted and saved as a .csv, the datasheet should be sent to ne.rw.survey@noaa.gov.
