Hi Kevin,

I am working with the CTD data you've submitted recently.
We have assigned an accession # 0146739 to that data.

I have a couple of questions regarding metadata, though.
While running incoming data check I found two occasions with suspicious 
ship speed most likely caused by errors in co-ordinates or date.

Please see below:

I guess that there is a typing error in Latitude:  most likely it should 
be "-44.8245"

I guess that there is a typing error in Day: since this is last station 
in the cruise, most likely in should be "30".

Would you please take a look at these issues and advise.

Thank you for your attention to that matter,
Alexey Mishonov

Hi Tim,

I've attached the latest batch of CTD data files from a variety of 
vessels operating around New Zealand. Note that there is a new vessel - 
the Seamount Explorer which will need a new WOD vessel code.В  The 
details are SEAMOUNT EXPLORER (F/V; call sign ZMOI; built 1987; 
ex.Europa 1997; IMO8614211).

I'm just getting together some NetCDF files for other cruise together 
now. I'll send them to you when they're ready.


Cheers,
Kevin
