Description

The science party maintained a sampling event log, recording all instrument deployments and significant events during the 2010 RAPID_I cruise aboard the R/V WEATHERBIRD II (WB1105). Refer to comments column for additional information.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The event log was created by hand and includes a record of all scientific sampling events from the cruise. In addition to event identification numbers unique for the cruise, the scientific sampling event log includes date and time (UTC and local), position (latitude and longitude), station and cast identifier as appropriate to the sampling event, sampling instrument (CTD, MOCNESS, Tucker, Drifter, Bucket, Neuston net), name of person responsible for the sampling event, and a comment field to record additional information.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- Edited Parameter names to conform to BCODMO convention
- Specifically 'cast depth' edited to 'depth' after clarification from PI
    (data file indicated cast depth was equal to wire out, however
    confirmation from PI indicates it was true depth in meters)
- Edited mixed position reporting (decimal degrees converted to degrees decimal minutes)
- Edited time formats (to include leading zero and exclude colon)
- Added column for time_diff (+4)
- Split Activity/Instrument column into separate columns: 'inst' and 'action'
- Removed pound sign "#" from comment fields within data.
- Two positions were corrected:
   event W9.10.036 longitude was edited from 87.51166 to 87 51.166 (87.85277 in decimal degree format)
   event W9.10.074 latitude was edited from 28.05767 to 29.05767
- UTC time for event W9.10.074 was edited from 423 to 523 to conform to time difference of +4.
- Replaced missing data with 'nd'.
- Added version line
- final edited version of file was renamed eventlog_WB1105.dat
