This column lists the planned cruise dates until the data are released to the public (last column). When a release date is present, the dates listed may differ from the planned WOCE cruise and may contain dates for data collected before and after the vessel was on the WOCE line.
The cruise track code is a nine character string based on the WOCE line code and a time sequential cruise number. The code has the format BRS##D/## where:
B=basin (P - Pacific, A - Atlantic, I - Indian, and S - Southern)
R=repeat cruise ( if not a repeat, an '_' or 'S' will occur here)
S=time series cruise ( if not a time series site, an '_' will occur here)
##=line number
D=portion of cruise line (E - east, N - north, W - west, S - south, C - central) where applicable (if not used, an '_' will occur)
/##=repeat cruise number (all repeat and time series cruises will have a number starting from 01. All one time cruises are labeled 00, unless a one time cruise line is completed in several legs, then cruise numbers starting at 01 are given) - in all cases the numbers are sequential based on the date the cruise became known to the DAC, with the smallest number being the oldest data.
For example, the code PRS14E/17 represents the 17th cruise on the Eastern portion of the Pacific Repeat time Series line number 14. As another example, the code S__22W/02 represents the second leg, in this case the western portion, of the Southern ocean one time cruise line number 22.
Time resolution represents the number of minutes between observations.
Provided by the WHPO. When complete these are unique identifiers for a specific port to port cruise. These codes can be used to match oceanographic data afrom other DAC's to the meteorology data. Any of the codes listed here with four or less characters are incomplete and awaiting and update. A cruise under a single ExpoCode may cover more that one cruise line segment.
