Description

RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer Cruise 10-02, March 16-May 2, 2010 long of scientific activities including CTDs, MOCNESS tows, Sediment trap deployments, underwter particulate camera (UPC) deployments, Tucker trawls, Otter trawls, Penguin diet sampling, XBTs, Multibeam surveys, Blake trawls, and beach sampling.

There was a significant blog in the Tampa Bay times detailing the cruise events, some preliminary findings and of course, phenomenal pictures.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

1) Added 'NBP1002' to all event numbers.

1b) Standardized instrument names.

2) Assumed NBST = Neutrally Buoyant Sediment Trap and UPC = Underwater Partical Camera

3) Moved Cast# from 'activity' name to column of its own and removed spaces from the 'activity' field

4) Combined deg decmin -> degdecmin and had to remove leading zero in Latitude degrees (max lat =90 in one direction)

5) Put in leading zeros so all times were HH:MM.

(4 and 5 necessary for jgofs/globec software)

6) changed 'person' column to 'si' for scientific investigator.

7) added column: ISOdateTime_start. BCO-DMO convention for interoperability.
