These metrics reflect metadata submission and usage of the NGEE Arctic Search Tool since its implementation in the spring of 2014. Metadata records are a combination of data, information and documentation that form a collection. While all metadata records are available to the public, researchers may request that some data collections be accessible only to the NGEE Arctic team. There is currently a total of 103 metadata records available with 46 collections shared with the public and 13 with data on its way (planned). The search tool tracks users and the number of downloads of any part of a collection.
