BCO-DMO Processing Notes
Generated from original file CTD_SF6.xls
provided on the Deep-Sea Research II 48 (2001) accompanying CD-Rom

BCO-DMO Edits
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- removed all out casts data – See SOIREE_CTD_SF6_OutCasts for out cast data
- Added station column and populated it with station from a single header line in original and labeled as event
- added '#' to comments preserved from original file
- deleted blank lines and redundant station and column header lines
- padded Pot Density to 3 decimal places and other data to 2 decimal places
- date/time and lat/lon added from SOIREE_Stations_CTDSampling.xls
