BCO-DMO Processing Notes

Generated from original file UNDERWAYSF6.xls
provided on the Deep-Sea Research II 48 (2001) accompanying CD-Rom

BCO-DMO Edits

- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention

- date/time formatted to BCO-DMO convention

- lon/lat converted from degs min.decimal min to decimal degrees

- original spreadsheet had mix of data in columns

- made two columns (SF6 and Corr fM) by cutting and pasting

- generated two separate spreadsheets. One for SF6 and one for Corr fM data.
