Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Notes:
* added site locations in decimal degree format (lat,lon) from provided UTM coordinates
* blank values set to "nd" for no data
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
