It looks like there is not enough documentation to say where the files are hosted.

The metadata includes the partial filepath (eg 2_Projects/GIS/C_Multibeam_C-SCAMP/Elbow/EL1/Bathymetry/EL1_Bathymetry_CUBE_2m.tiff) but the first part of this path is missing. It could be a local location on a server (eg /home/tylar/...) or a url (eg https://usf.edu/fake_example_location/...). I have opened this issue to request more information from the repository maintainers.

From the rest of the information I am guessing that there is a server which you need to access the data. The use of / instead of \ leads me to think this is a unix-based server, which means you will need to access either using an ssh client (I recommend mobaxterm) or via a samba-share endpoint. The sysadmin of the server will need to provide you login credentials for this.

I am making a lot of guesses here but hopefully that helps a bit. When you do find it out, please add the information to the README.Rmd file using markdown syntax to help others in the future.

Hi @KristinErickson. That repo is something I developed mainly for myself. I ended up making it public so I could easily share it with other people on the project. Since it was designed for internal usage, the paths refer to where the data can be found on our personal server. I know we are working with NCEI to host some of the data long term but it is not up yet. You're with FIO, right? We can talk over email about what the intended use of the data is and based on that figure the best way to share the data you'd need. My email is ailich@usf.edu.

Data requests can also be sent directly to comit-data@usf.edu. I'll update the ReadMe so it is clearer to viewers of the repo that are external to CSCAMP/COMIT.
