Survey metadata must accompany all subsidiary datasets at all data levels (Raw L0, Processed L2, Gridded L3).
Metadata can be provided to a Contributing Hub, in a number of digital formats (.txt, .csv, .xls), for the immediate future until the AusSeabed Data Register and submission tool has been developed and released for public access.
