Use
All BLE LTER data packages can be found in the data catalog on our website: https://ble.lter.edu/catalog. There is also a guide on our data catalog page describing how to access metadata for BLE data packages (linked here). The guide gives an overview to the EDI portal, which digests metadata we provide to generate a user-friendly display of important information such as variable units and code-definitions. Please follow as you explore BLE data.
Regards,
