Laser height profile (section half) (PROFILE)

Height profile data were measured on the Section Half Multisensor Logger (SHMSL) by a rangefinding laser and recorded in uncorrected height units in millimeters in CSV files.

Data file format

    Exp: expedition number
    Site: site number
    Hole: hole number
    Core: core number
    Type: type indicates the coring tool used to recover the core (typical types are F, H, R, X).
    Sect: section number
    A/W: archive (A) or working (W) section half.
    Top depth CSF-A (m): location of the observation expressed relative to the top of a hole.
    Bottom depth CSF-A (m): location of the lower edge of the sample expressed relative to the top of the hole.
    Top depth [other] (m): location of the observation expressed relative to the top of a hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
    Bottom depth [other] (m): location of the lower edge of the sample expressed relative to the top of the hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
    Length (m): the length of the sample.
    Observed length (cm): the length of the sample.
    Configuration filename: the name of the measurement configuration file.
    Raw data filename: The name of the raw data file.
    Timestamp (UTC): point in time at which the observation or set of observations was made.
    Instrument: instrument used to measure sample profile.
    Text ID: automatically generated unique database identifier for a sample, visible on printed labels.
    Test No: unique number associated with the instrument measurement steps that produced these data. 
    Sample comments: observations recorded about the sample itself.
    Test comments: observations about a measurement or the measurement process; some measurement observations may be under Result comments.
    Result comments: observations about a measurement or the measurement process; some measurement observations may be under Test comments.
