Be-7 = Be-7
GT-C = GEOTRACES carousel
GeoF = GeoFish w/ Event # only; TM dissolved; unfiltered
mid-GeoF = GeoFish w/ GEOTRACES #; TM diss/uf; Nuts; nanoNuts; As; Alk Phosphatase
Super-GeoF = GeoFish Station sampling: TM diss/uf; Nuts; NanoNuts; As; Alk Phos; Se; WML; A. Shiller
RaPUW = Radium UW pump
MITv2 = MIT-vane
UAFv = UAF-vane
KnoR = Knorr rosette
MastUp = NASA solar reference mast UP
MastDown = NASA solar reference mast DOWN
McL-Ros = McLane pump rosette
McL-Prof = McLane pump profile
Aeros = Aerosol sampler
Argo = Argo Float deployment
AOP = Apparent Optical Properties cast
NASAsurf = NASA surface pump water sample
NEMO = NEMO Float Deployment
Ra/Th/Pig = Ra/Th/Pigment Niskin Cast
Surf Ra bag = Surface Ra bag
Rain = Rain sample

Codes for Samples Taken
nd = unknown/not recorded

diss+part = dissolved and particulate samples
unfilt = unfiltered seawater
filter = filter for particulates
diss+ UF = Dissolved TM, Mn; Unfiltered TM
Argo = Argo Float deployment
none = none

Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
- Generated from original .xlsx file "EPZT_TGT303_Event_Log_ed.xlsx" contributed by MCJ
- Edits made by MCJ incorporated in v30Oct2014 version
- Corrections made to misc, obvious navigation errors using R2R cruisetrack navigation
- "nd" no data inserted into blank cells
- date reformatted to BCO-DMO standard of YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to BCO-DMO standard of HHMM
- ISO date/time fields inserted
- latitude in decimal degrees generated from latitude degs, mins (latitude deg, mins preserved)
- longitude in decimal degrees generated from longitude degs, mins (longitude deg, mins preserved)
- commas "," in text columns converted to semicolons ";"
- misc reformatting of location column data for standardization (blanks removed)
- Parameter names edited to conform to BCO-DMO naming convention found at Choosing Parameter Name
