For usSEABED, digital data and the scanned reported were downloaded via the web, visually compared to source and corrected. Additional data may have been included from the scanned report, also available online. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters. Completeness_Report: All data available online and in scanned report are included. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigational techniques not recorded in report; latitudes and longitudes given in degrees and minutes. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water depth determination technique not noted in report. Water depths are given, subsample depths in centimeters from top of core.
