   Edits to the 10June2009 version of these data made based on feedback from
   Jim Christian, biological/chemical oceanographer from Canada (Jim.Christian@ec.gc.ca)
   Values for event, cast and DEPTH corrected for:
   TM ROSETTE CAST 100-107  6/1/95 (YD 152)  0900-1400 GMT; TRANSECT I  DAY 3  DEPTH = 15.5 Meters (avg.)
   TM ROSETTE CAST 110-121  6/2/95 (YD 153)  0100-0700 GM; TRANSECT II DAY 4  DEPTH = 15.8 Meters (avg.)
   TM ROSETTE CAST 248-263  6/6/95  (YD 158)  1155-1945 GMT; TRANSECT III DAY 9  DEPTH = 15.2 Meters (avg.)  0555-1245 LOCAL
   individual cast number (“cast”) was in the depth column of the original data and was carried over as such
   “cast” is now correct in the “cast” field
   the average depth as given in the DESCRIPTION_SURVEY is the depth
   event, cast, date, yrday, time, lon, lat fields corrected with data from cast log
