New Tasks:
Re-organization of the BBOP database
Purpose: to increase the performance of the (in-situ) matchups
Methods:
- imported all pigment measurements from SeaBASS
- organized all radiometric data (MER, SPMR, & MicrPro)
- organized all absorption data (ag, ad, ap & aph)
Issues:
- The chlorophyll values in the original database were incorrect. The chlorophyll values were taken from the IOP bottle-files that had been submitted to SeaBASS. These were labeled as "chl_a", which is defined by SeaBASS as an HPLC product. However, these are Flourometric measurements. At some point, a script needs to be written to re-format these files and a they must then be re-submitted to SeaBASS.
- Many of the sample times are incorrect. This creates inaccuracies when trying to match-up the different measurements. Most of the problems are a result of submitting the data in local (Bermuda) time rather than GMT - as required by SeaBASS. Other issues exist as a result of the technician's computer clock being incorrectly set - sometimes by an order of years. Again, these data will ultimately have to edited and re-submitted to SeaBASS.
