Description: 
Sample from the same location, depth and date was collected into different bottles, and for some of the samples, each bottle was measured for absorbance separately, in which case, sample numbers were given to the subsamples from each bottle. For example, 3 means this is a third bottle of the same sample taken from the same location, depth and date.
