California Current Ecosystem LTER

Event Log (Process Cruise)

Title
CCE LTER process cruise, in the California Current region, event log records including date, time, position and activity for use in post-cruise data integration based on co-sampling indexes. From 2006 to 2019 CCE LTER used a locally developed event logging system. During P2107, CCE LTER started to utilize the R2R Event Logger on UNOL ships, 2006 - 2024 (ongoing).

Abstract
The event logger program developed and maintained by the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations, SIO, program is used aboard CCE LTER process cruises to create indexes with temporal, spatial and activity information for post-cruise data integration. The event log is configured aboard the ship for the recording of sampling events by both ship crew personnel on the bridge, and research personnel in the lab. The event log is processed post-cruise to correct for various errors.

Methods


General Methods
Occasionally event numbers are skipped; these may be noted in the dataset notes table. Occasionally extra events are added after the cruise that appear as decimal additions. Dates and times recorded on each cruise may vary in timezone. Final dates and times are posted as GMT and PST, appropriately converted from available recorded times.
