Processing description

Change history: YYMMDD
    060510: original data received from Ken Buesseler (WHOI);
    070208: added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO, (cchandler@whoi.edu)
    070227: cchandler, OCB DMO, added yrDay, lat and lon from event log 
  
 OCB DMO Note: 
    070208: use event to retrieve geospatial- temporal- data from event log
