Description

This scientific sampling event log was created using an early implementation of the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) event log application (ELOG with cruise-specific custom configuration files). The log includes a record of all scientific sampling events from the cruise. In addition to event identification numbers unique for the cruise, the scientific sampling event log includes date and time (GMT), position (latittude and longitude), station and cast identifier as appropriate to the sampling event, sampling instrument name (e.g. CTD, TM, MOC10), name of person responsible for the sampling event, and a comment field to record additional information.
