Processing description

Change history:
    070501: downloaded original data (MelvilleStationDataNuts.xls) from SOFeX project data web site.
            data prepared by Dave DuBois (OCB DMO, WHOI)
    080814: added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO, (cchandler@whoi.edu)
  
 PI note: All of these samples were run at sea and data are considered preliminary.
 
 OCB DMO Note: 'CRM' and 'TM' type casts were reported in one worksheet called 'Total'. Data are
            presented as sorted in the contributed Excel file, with records sorted first by
            cast type (CRM or TM) and then by time. Date, time and position are from the
            original data file and not the cruise event log. The 'bot' parameter (bottle number)
            could be used as a proxy for depth, or used to retrieve depth data from the SIO_bottle 
            data object.
            
            The latitude in the original Excel file for station 7 CTD cast 19 was reported as
            a different value for each bottle sample.  Those values ranged from -0.0470 to 0.4720.
            The DMO replaced those values with a single latitude from the cruise event log.
