Description

This scientific sampling event log was created using a very early implementation of the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) event log application (ELOG with cruise-specific custom configuration files). The log includes a record of all scientific sampling events from the cruise. OC467 was the first field test deployment of the R2R ELOG system.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Post-cruise processing of the cruise event log was done by Cyndy Chandler (R2R and BCO-DMO). Event numbers were checked to ensure that all event numbers are unique. Text was modified in the event-type field to remove the colon character and simplify the entries. The R2R event number and original date and time in UTC have been removed from the data set.
