# to describe what they contain, which could be combined with the
# Directory of Files. 
#

File Naming Convention (if not included above):


file name includes a 12-digit identifier (i.e. 22022GC010568) supplied by the journal publishing the paper (Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems)

# Data Description: A data description, dictionary, or codebook
# defines the variables and abbreviations used in a dataset. This
# information can be included in the README file, in a separate 
# file, or as part of the data file. If it is in a separate file
# or in the data file, explain where this information is located
# and ensure that it is accessible without specialized software.
