EDDIES 2004 cruises: Survey 1 OCEANUS 404-1 and Transect 1 WB0409
event_log_E1 data processing notes

PI: Dennis McGillicuddy (WHOI) and Nick Bates (BBSR)

27 February 2007: Prepared for OCB data system by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO (MCG Dept, WHOI)
from a processing notes file contributed by Courtney Ewart (UCSB).

The merged cruise event log of all recorded sampling events aboard two coordinated EDDIES cruises in 2004 was created and contributed by Courtney Ewart (UCSB) in August 2006.

The merged event log combines data from:
OC and WB CTD cast sheets
WHOI XBT logs and combined CTD station logs (OCB DMO, WHOI)
Thorium pump cast logs contributed by Steve Pike (WHOI)
Optics and BBOP Metadata from Dave Siegel (UCSB)
and ADCP eddy center trajectories calculated by Valery V. Kosnyrev (WHOI)
Information for the sediment traps could not be located.

Explanation of sampling_type descriptor codes

EC	Location of eddy center each day based on ADCP trajectory (V. Kosnyrev). Time was set to 0000 to generate a unique event #, and does not therefore represent GMT 0000.
BBOP	WB chl samples taken for BBOP (1, 20, 40, 60m)
CTD Profile	No bottles fired. CTD depth profile only.
Go-flo	Production array deployment
CTD	Niskin bottles fired and sampled
LP/Rad	Light probe/Radiometer
MOC	Mocness tow
ST	Surface tow
Wire	unknown sampling event type

NOTE: "Rad" and 'LP" are same event type (radiometer) but "OC404-4 event log" info for LP does not match Siegel "Optics Metadata" xls file, so have included both an LP and Rad category here. "LP" events can be eliminated if "Rad" events from optics meta data are correct since "Rad" metadata seems more complete than "LP" metadata.
