Description

Longitude, latitude, date and time (UTC) and seafloor depth (XYTZ) cruise track data were subsampled from the ship's underway sampling system (daily WHOI Athena 1 minute *.CSV files) using a BCO-DMO perl script. The vessel's underway data acquisition system records the best quality navigation data from the Furuno 1850 GPS receiver.  The seafloor depth is from the Knudsen 12 kHz channel system and includes the 4 meter transducer depth correction.
