SOFeX 2002 Melville cruise
Particulate Organic Matter (POM)

PI: Craig Hunter and Kenneth Coale (MLML)

02 April 2007: Prepared for OCB data system by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO (WHOI).

OCB DMO Processing Notes:
The Particulate Organic Matter (POM) data were contributed as a collection of tables in an Excel spreadsheet file. No documentation was contributed with the data. View or download original POM data file as an: Excel file or converted to PDF file.

Contact: Craig Hunter

Metadata were taken from the Melville cruise event log when the original data were added to the OCB database.

  1. all event, time, lon and lat data for events are from Melville cruise event log
  2. event_SFX (the SOFeX multi-ship event number), patch day data (pDay_N and pDay_S) are from the multi-ship event log contributed by Michael Hiscock
