"BROKEPIGDBase.xls
Contains 5 worksheets.
'Notes' repeats the information presented here.
'Key' describes the column headings, chemical names.
'Raw_Data' is the exact spreadsheet receieved from Dr Wright.
'Standard_sample_source' contains all the phyto-chemical data as taken from the CTD programme.
'Non_standard_sample_source' contains phyto-chemical data that seems to have been collected opportunistically, to test some assumptions. The details of the locations of the opportunistic samples are detailed in the column 'Sample_source'.
Note- it is unsure whether the numbers in the CTD column describe the Station Number. This has to be verified.
Converted into a MS Access database- 'BROKE_phytoplankton.mdb' by Natalie Kelly.
This database contains 3 tables. One is a description of the column names, chemical etc. The other two contain both the Standard and Non-Standard Sample source phytochemical data.
