Source:  Original data were collected as part of the response to the MC252
         Deepwater Horizon oil spill event.  Data may have been provided
         by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), BP, EPA, DFO Canada
         (Department of Fisheries and Oceans), or various labs that
         completed sample analysis.

Actions: The original data were copied into the data/0-data/ directory.
         Subsequent processing was performed on the CTD data set at the
         National Coastal Data Development Center using Sea-Bird SEASOFT
         software (http://www.seabird.com/software/softrev.htm) as documented
         below:
         - Steps to Process CTD data
         - Steps to Reprocess CTD data for upcasts and bottles
         - Steps to Reprocess CTD data including the wild-edit option

         Processed data (bin-averaged ASCII files) were transformed into NetCDF
         format.

         All transformed data were then copied into the data/1-data/ directory.
