Summary data from 1m2 and 10m2 MOCNESS tows conducted off Hawaii.  Start and end of each net deployment  pressure, fluorometry,conductivity, salinity, temperature,potential temperature and potential density.  These data represent 33 tows from three cruises.

DMO notes:
Changed MOCNESS time column to yrday_local and used it to get hour/min. 
The first tow in each cruise has incorrect MOCNESS time when the tow crossed midnight.  The hour and minute calculations are correct but for some reason the MOCNESS incremented a day when a net was opened.  This is only true for the first tow in each cruise.
Added year column to help with time conversions.
