Description

Station id, date, time, lat, lon and description of all stations

A comment on the 'SAGEtime' field:
The 'SAGEtime' field is a custom time for this project.
'SAGEtime' is called 'ExpDay' in other SAGE datasets.
The 'SAGEtime' value permitted investigators to synchronize sampling time
with mesocosm experiments back at shoreside laboratories.

Note:
SAGEtime/ExperimentDay time zero (0.0000) is:
25 March 2004, 19:00 Local Time (NZST) from
SAGE Voyage Report, Voyage Timetable, Pages 5-6

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
Generated from original spreadsheet SAGE_station_meta.xls, tab: Station details

Modifications to original version made by Doug Mackie(Univ of Otago, NZ):
StaNum: 501 changed from original StaNum of 3501 (confirmed with PI)

BCO-DMO Edits
- Station Number changed to station
- blank stations filled in using previous station id with an 'a' appended
- example: station U541 was originally followed by a blank station. Blank station became U541a.
- station_CTD added to set station as U3xxx to conform to station numbers used in CTD data
- lon/lat converted from degs min.decimal min to decimal degrees
- lat signed negative for South
- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- lat/lon for station U740 from position for Northern Biophysical Mooring in voyage report and is approximate
- no date/time for station U740 located to date, date of 20040414 is estimated
- added station U741 (U3741) with no date, time or position. Was not in opriginal station list
- U741 (U23741) in SAGE_watercol_chlPOCPNPPDOC.xls and SAGE_BCODMO_ARCHER_DMS.xls
- U741 (U3741) not found in any other data
