Source_Contribution:

The ASCII text file containing hourly time fixes were copied from the publication CD-ROM and used to create the GIS data layer.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Navigation data copied from Open-File Report 96-707 where it was stored as an ASCII file (FARN82-7.DAT), imported to Microsoft Excel where a header was added to identify the fields, and hourly fixes were selected from the two-minute fix navigation. The data were exported form Excel as a comma delimited text file that was named farn82-7_hr.txt. The identification of the fields are: 1. Latitude, 2. Longitude, 3. Year, 4. Month, 5. Day, 6. Hour, 7. Minute, 8. Second, 9. Depth (m-corr) - correction using Carter's Tables, 10. Depth (m-uncorr) - uncorrected water depth. Two additional fields were added to the file: Jday which contains the Julian day and Label which contains an hourly annotation.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The link to the data in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. The link to the data in the Distribution_Information section had to be fixed. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The link to the larger work citation had to be fixed. The links to the browse graphics had to be fixed. Add an online link to the cross-reference. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
