BAMS project cruise summary

PI: Bess Ward (Princeton University)

October 2008: Prepared for BCO data system by Steve Gegg, BCO-DMO (WHOI).

BAMS cruise summary data were compiled from general cruise information
provided by Bess Ward in the cruise metadata form and from the UNOLS
yearly schedules for the R/V Cape Henlopen for the years 2000-2004.

No sampling dates or details were available for the R/V Parker. It is assumed
that all Choptank River sampling was done with the R/V Parker and only the
R/V Parker. This may, or may not be, a valid assumption.

Dates for R/V Cape Henlopen cruises were extracted from the UNOLS yearly
schedules and compared with the dates found in the data files. While not 100%
in agreement, the dates were all within a few days of the each other and it can
be reliably inferred that the data were collected on the particular cruises as
identified in the UNOLS schedules.

Because no formal cruise ids were located for the individual R/V Cape Henlopen
cruises, the data were organized under one single "BAMS-multi" cruise deployment
id in the BCO-DMO metadata database.

The list below summarizes the cruise information for general reference.
