2004-04-20 Bartolacci, Danie CTD/SUM Website Updated full note
-Added quality bytes for all values (2 if valid value was present, -999. if value was missing) and associated comment lines in header.
-Added CTDOXY and flag column with missing values and missing value flag.  This was done in order to convert files into netcdf (our in-house code requires all columns be present).
-Renamed all station files to CCHDO format.
-Converted files to netcdf with no apparent errors.
2004-04-15 Bartolacci, Danie CTD/SUM Ready to go Online EXCHANGE Format, No Qual Values
CTD files are in .csv format, but at present have no quality bytes associated with values and therefore cannot be converted to netCDF at this time.

A directory and web page files have been created for this cruise.  All station track and data files link. This cruise will not link to the website until web-generating code is working and run.
