IMPORTANT: The COPEPOD data files are compressed with "ZIP" compression and have a ".zip" extension. (This is not "gzip", which was used with World Ocean Database Plankton.) COPEPOD data files are compressed as folders, with each folder having multiple files inside. You should unzip/extract the entire COPEPOD zip file "as-is", so it will appear in your folder/directory correctly (i.e. a folder or folders with multiple files in each folder). Extracting file-by-file or otherwise may create a mess of randomly distributed files. For example, if you view the ".zip" file (e.g., with WinZip), it may look like a mess of random files. However, they will correctly re-organize themselves during the unzip process. (Don't panic!) We use the shareware "Info-Zip" software, which is available for pretty much any computer on the planet. It is available at: www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/. This link will take you away from this website. |
