NODC,
I submitted via ftp the ship's NODC data to the NODC ftp site. The file name was HB_Bigelow_2007.zip and contains all of the NODC data collected by the Henry B. Bigelow during 2007. This file contains data for cruise numbers HB0101 leg 1 and 2 (this is a file naming error and should read HB0701 legs 1 and 2), Net Trials Cruise, Cetacean Cruise, Fall Survey Cruise and Acoustic Trials Cruise files. We have adopted a standard HBYEARCRUISE#_LEG# (such as HB0801_Leg1) format for future data submittal. Last year was our first year of operation and with it came many SOPs that needed to be hashed out, I therefore apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
In the future we will be submitting our NODC data on a monthly basis and will be sure to submit a clear list of cruise numbers to these email addresses along with it.
In the future questions about the ship's data can be emailed to survey.henry.bigelow@noaa.gov
Thank you,
Peter Gamache
