Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- replaced spaces with underscores;
- added column for lon (in negative degrees east rather than positive degrees west);
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- removed "ms" (meters) from sample depth column and bottom depth column;
- replaced ~ with 'nd' to indicate 'no data';
- replaced 'sfc' with '1' in depth_sample column (per email from Janice Jones on 21 Aug 2015).
