Description

Zooplankton fecal pellet flux data from NBST deployments

Methods & Sampling

 Methodology: Methodology
 
 Change history: YYMMDD
    080804: contributed by Debbie Steinberg
    081105: date, lon, lat and ev_code from cruise logs merged with original data
            one single multi-ship dataset generated for both KM0414 and RR_K2 data
    081106: added to OCB database; Steve Gegg (sgegg@whoi.edu), BCO DMO

 DMO Note: Used common event number from these data and from logs to determine sample
           position, date and event code for zooplankton data
           KM0414 event log
           RR_K2 event log
