The data contained 52 files and 6,589 records. The data format written by Dr. Balch was designed to archive phytoplankton pigment and productivity data. A hardcopy of the README.TXT file was submitted in with other documentation; it includes a file list, data parameters, record layout, field descriptions, and descriptions of the parameter codes.

Same Vessels Info 74OA - OCEAN RESEARCHER General Comments: Wikipedia claims a build date of 1985, which is incorrect. I saw her in Falmouth fully fitted out and undergoing acceptance trials in September 1984. 1985-02-13 is date of first cruise. In Jan. 2007, the name associated with the code 74AB was changed to OCEAN RESEARCHER. In Feb. 2007 an additional code was created for the OCEAN RESEARCHER. In 2009, the platform group agreed attribute change and code creation procedures. The name for 74AB was changed back to CHARLES DARWIN. RRS Frederick Russell Updated information from ICES added on 2012-03-05. Code : 74GG Name : FREDERICK RUSSELL Flag : UNITED KINGDOM - GB (ISO Country Code) Title : RRS Platform Class : Research vessel IMO : 7347938 Built : 1974 Notes : Renamed Lough Foyle *Additional Information Sources:* None found . *Same Vessels Info:* *74LG* - LOUGH FOYLE *General Comments:* There was only one RRS Frederick Russell. She was a NERC research vessel, which meant that cruises could be run on her by any NERC laboratory or UK university department. So the labels on the ROSCOPs indicate who organised the cruise, not who operated the ship. She was always operated by NERC Research Vessel Services based in Barry. She was then transferred to the organisation then known as Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland (DANI) and renamed Lough Foyle, so they are the both the same ship.
