Description

Events, dates/times, positions, event type, cast number and lead scientist at each event.

Methods & Sampling

Generated aboard vessel by science party.

Data Processing Description

Generated from original Excel file: AE1319_event_log.xlsx contributed by Mike Lomas.

BCO-DMO Processing:

- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- reformated data from mmddyyyy to yyyy-mm-dd
- replaced spaces and other special characters with underscore
- replaced blank cells with nd
- converted lat/lon to decimal degrees

Instruments

Global Positioning System Receiver

Supplied Name: GPS

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Global Positioning System Receiver

Acronym: GPS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/POS03/

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.
