Additional Documentation: Loran data was shifted to correlate with transit satellite fixes collected, during the cruise to force the positions to near-geodetic. More shifts, followed. Part of this data was cut and data from the 09880002(GPS) cruise, used to replace it in a gridded data set. Data was cut from the following, times: JD101 22:40 - JD102 01:01. "Bad" data appears to occur during the, times of ~16:17-16:24 and ~16:47-16:51 on JD 104. Some of this bad data (in, the "raw" data set) was deleted and replaced with 0's.
