   Some activities, such as aerosal sampling, sampling from the ship's seawater
   system, and continuous underway sampling (weather, solar radiation, Sea Beam)
   are not reported in the log.

Parameters

Supplied Name	Supplied description	Supplied Units	Standard Name
year	year cruise took place.		year
event	A unique number assigned to each over the side sampling activity. This number is a composite of date and time UTC(GMT) in the form MMDDHHmm that indicates the starting time of the sampling activity. Generally, one event began as the preceding event ended.		event
sta	Station. A unique number designating a general geographic location at which a suite of sampling activities may occur; occupied sequentially during the cruise		sta
cast_type	a sampling activity identifier, where: CTD = CTD rosette bottle cast TM = trace metal free rosette bottle cast		no_bcodmo_term
lat	starting latitude for each event (negative = south)	decimal degrees	lat
lon	starting longitude for each event (negative = west)	decimal degrees	lon
activity_and_comments	Identifies the sampling method, generally followed by a sampling sequence number for that method. CTD or Trace Metal(TM) casts were also designated by an 8 digit unique number consisting of: (3 digits for cruise, 3 digits for station, and 2 digits for sequence).		no_bcodmo_term
seq	is a sequential (within each station) entry in the bridge log of all over the side activities for which gear was deployed.		no_bcodmo_term
person	Name of the scientist(s) involved in the particular sampling event or responsible for the resulting data.		no_bcodmo_term
