Deployment-specific acquisition description

   PI:              John Hedges (Hedges/Lee/Wakeham)
   of:              University of Washington
   dataset:         Carbohydrate weight percentages from composite plankton tow collections
   dates:           August 5, 1992 to September 18, 1992
   location:        N: 9  S: -5  W: -140  E: -140
   project/cruise:  EQPAC/TT011 - Fall Survey
   ship:            Thomas Thompson
 
   Note:  The plankton net tows were oblique tows from 0-100m. In most cases
   the samples analyzed are composites of two or more tows. As a result,
   no event numbers are reported.
