Metadata

  • Towed Array: Stored \\PICCRPNAS\CRP3\_PAM_Metadata

Detection_Logs contains the following folder structure:

1_Field_SQLite_Databases

(SQLite databases collected via PAMGuard using the Logger Form Module. Depending on the cruise they are broken down by day, leg, or cruise. This is there most raw form.)

2_Compiled_CSV_Excel

(R-script compiled all the databases by sheet into CSV files and there is single Excel file containing all the data except the gps CSV. The Excel file used to keep track of edits from the field collected data.)

3_Finalized_EncounterTime-Species

(Edited Excel file containing only the towed array information, edited encounter start/end times, and finalized species codes.)

  • DASBR: Stored \\PICCRPNAS\CRP3\_PAM_Metadata

Deployment_Logs folder contains an Excel file by cruise of each DASBR deployment, the makeup of each drift, and time in water.

Drift_Tracks folder contains two folders: Original (original track info from the instrument) & Formatted_For_PAMPal (columns edited to be ingesting into the R package PAMpal).

Tethys_Deployment_Files contains Excel files of deployment information and gps tracks formatted for Tethys.
