File Name Conventions for post-Woce cruises
The EXPOCODE is the expedition code, assigned by the CCHDO (sometimes changed to match required syntax from a preliminary EXPOCODE generated by the data originator). A single alphanumeric word, without spaces, commas, or "/" characters (but "_" underscore characters are OK) which is a unique cruise identifier code, is required for every cruise dealt with by the CCHDO.
ExpoCode Syntax:

Example:
Line - pr40
Ship Name - Roger Revelle (33RR)
