Vertical sediment profile

Metadata

The metadata of a profile need to be defined first. For single profiles send information as free text or use the import form for the upload of a list of Events. Bold fields are mandatory.


 * Name of the core (LabelEvent), event lables must be unique
 * optional label (if a second label is given)
 * Area (of investigation, e.g. Equatorial Atlantic or Lake Baikal)
 * Abbreviation of the device (e.g. GC for gravity corer)
 * Latitude (LatitudeEvent ) (in dec degree or degree/dec minutes)
 * Longitude (LongitudeEvent )
 * Elevation (ElevationEvent ) negativ if below sea level !
 * Date of sampling (DateEvent)
 * Time of sampling (TimeEvent)
 * Campaign of sampling (Campaign)
 * any remarks

Data

Granularity of data sets may follow categories, e.g. all benthic foraminifera or all physical properties data in one set. Data of several profiles with the same parameter and structure may be provided in one file, cores following sequentialy one below the other.
 * 1) Column: Event label
 * 2) Column: Depth, sediment (1, Geocode; this geocode exclusively allows to use the unit of the given values, i.e. m or cm, in the header)
 * 3) to n. Column: Data (parameter name [unit] or ID of parameter)
