Table 5. Sample of station data table.
[Example of selected fields from the
station data table
(spreadsheet format). Numbers for the columns refer to field numbers in
the data
dictionary. Redundancy is accepted when it serves operational needs. For example, latitude
is given both as decimal latitude, field 7, and as degrees, minutes and seconds in fields
8, 9, and 10. (In the full database, longitude is treated similarly.) For brevity, sample
depth (59) is referred to here in a single field; the full data dictionary provides for
two fields to define top and bottom of sample from a core. Descriptive text is placed within the body of a table
close to applicable data, rather than in separate files, to minimize chances of its loss when
data are transferred.] |
