BCO-DMO Processing Notes
- Generated from original .xlsx file "gt13.sum" contributed by MCJ
- Edits made by MCJ incorporated in v30Oct2014 version
- "nd" no data inserted into blank cells
- date reformatted to BCO-DMO standard of YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to BCO-DMO standard of HHMM
- ISO date/time field inserted
- parameters and comments re-formatted into single fields
- GEOTRC_EVENTNO field added as a separate column
- latitude in decimal degrees generated from latitude degs, mins
- longitude in decimal degrees generated from longitude degs, mins
