** Water column data must be sent to the Office of Coast Survey if it was used to aid in feature detection (only include those files used to attain a safer least depth). Water column data that was acquired for any other reason (or if it was acquired holistically throughout the entire survey) must be sent directly to the NCEI water column archive. It is recommended to use CruisePack, directing any questions to wcd.info@noaa.gov.
