    061211: downloaded original data from EDDIES data web site;
            EddiesBBSR05 (client) 2006_final.xls;
    070112: added to OCB database by Nancy Copley and Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO
    071004: downloaded CruiseID_nuts_final.txt files from EDDIES data Web site 
            and prepared for OCB; ammonium data and EDT sample identification 
            codes were not reported with this version of the data
            
 OCB DMO note: match station number in cruise event log to determine
    sampling location, date and time; depth_n estimated from depth and added
    to enable merge with bottle data; these data are reported in umol/kg
    for which the conversion is roughly: N_umol/kg = N_umol/L / 1.025
 
 Analysis Note: files listing those data that are from the sample rerun:
    WB Silicate reruns
