Description

SOLOPC - UnProcessed Data Files
Sensor specific binary (.BIN) data files were converted to unprocessed, ascii, text using SOLOPC system software.
The file names 'SOLOPC_NH{xxx}293#_GK#' the first number 2930 or 2931 refers to which SOLOPC cruise the data were collected on, which instrument was deployed and the GK# refers to each of the six deployments, 5 & 6 being combined. No "GK" id's for NH1307.

No further processing of these text files has been carried out.
tar.gz archives of the text files per deployment are served.
