Description

DOP Utilization (ATP3, DOP) Cruise Event Logs
Biogeochemical data collected on transect cruises studying
Dissolved Organic Phosphorus throughout the western Sargasso Sea.
Data are from several cruises over the span 2006 to 2008.

Note the cruise identifiers for the Atlantic Explorer were originally formatted as XYY## (e.g. X0806 was the 6th cruise in 2008). The data files include cruise IDs of this type. The vessel operator changed the cruise ID syntax several years after the cruise and the official cruise ID syntax was changed to AEYY##. For example, AE0810 should be the same cruise as X0810. One exception for this dataset is that X0804 is cruise ID AE0810.

Methods & Sampling

Prepared by science party aboard the vessel

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Edits
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- lat/lon padded to 7 decimal places
- commas in activities and comments field replaced with semi colons
- added CruiseId column and combined all event logs into one dataset
- X0606 station 7 year corrected from 2007 to 2006
- Lat/Lons for X0606 standardized to positions from BGC data

- "nd" added to blank fields
