Hi Jane,

I know that this is probably too late, but I just got a note from
Jerry (SSEC Data Center head) about how to site user of their data.
Here is what he sent me:

Data Citation Format

Author(s) or Creator(s):  data creators or people/organization(s) responsible 
for intellectual content
Release Date:  when the particular version of the data set was first made 
available for use 
Title:  formal title of the data set
Version: the precise version of the data used 
Archive and/or Distributor:  the organization distributing or archiving the data
Locator/Identifier:   URL, DOI, Handle (ideally, something persistent)
Access Date and Time:  when the online data were accessed

Example:

Velden, Christopher S. (PI). Released 22 May 2014. Real-Time Polar Winds from 
MODIS, AVHRR, and LEO-GEO. Advanced Satellite Products Branch, National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration and Cooperative Institute for Meteorological 
Satellite Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Data set accessed 
2014-05-22 at: http://stratus.ssec.wisc.edu/products/rtpolarwinds/. 

BUT, Jerry pointed out that they don't have DOIs for their datasets yet, so
not all of the items in the list above can be filled-in.

Please let me know if you have any questions for what you should do (if it is
not already too late).

Cheers,

Tom
