- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- Lat/Lon converted from degs, decimal minutes to decimal degrees
- 'nd' added to blank cells
- 'X' in cells changed to 'sampled'
- commas in bottle column replaced with semi-colons
- parenthesis replaced with underscores
- deleted blank column (was column X)
- the '-' (negative sign) in NUTS column changed to 'neg'
- High Resolution Cast replaced with HRC in ops_tracegas column
- tz (timezone) added from SOIREE_Stations_MasterStationList.xls
