 dataset:         CTD station and Niskin bottle event log
 dates:           18 August 2005 to 25 August 2005  (20050818-20050825)
 location:        N: 30.185  S: 29.723  W: -69.410  E: -67.744
 project/cruise:  EDDIES/WB0508 2005 Transect 2 (EDT4)
 platform:        R/V Weatherbird II
 
 OCB DMO note:  this cruise is also called EDDIES Transect #4 or EDT4
         (EDDIES Transects 1 and 2 were done in 2004, 3 and 4 in 2005)
 
 Methodology: none provided with data
 
 Change history: YYMMDD
    060308: downloaded x0508_station.txt from EDDIES data web site;
            added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO;
 
 PI note:  The sta_ref parameter is the reference station indicator, 
    mostly Oceanus master grid (20km spacing). Note, WBII station number is not 
    included to avoid further confusion. Hence, locations need to be either WBII 
    CTD station number or Oceanus grid number. Where Oceanus grid station does not
    exist then station will be described in terms of nearest station or some 
    nominal eddy center (EC).  For the early part of the cruise station 2070 was  
    deemed EC, but after W-E transect it was obvious it had shifted. Appeared to 
    have moved to the SW.
