Description

List of dates, times, and positions of all bongo and RMT tows conducted during the AMT24 cruise.

Methods & Sampling

BCO-DMO extracted Table 1 from the Zooplankton Ecology portion of the AMT24 cruise report (PDF) prepared by E. Goetze et al.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO edits made:
- Extracted table from the Cruise Report in Word; converted to .csv.
- Converted original latitude and longitude values from degrees and decimal minutes to decimal degrees.
- Replaced "n.r." with "nd" to indicate "no data".
- Separated original date field into month, day, and year columns.
