Magnetic susceptibility (section half)

Magnetic susceptibility was measured on section halves on the Section Half Multisensor Logger (SHMSL) using a Bartington MS2 meter and either a MS2E or MS2K probe. Because all JRSO cores meet minimum size requirements for these two probes, MSPOINT data are corrected for volume and recorded in SI susceptibility units (x10<sup>-5</sup>).

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.
    Offset (cm): position of the observation made, measured relative to the top of a section.
    Depth CSF-A (m): location of the observation expressed relative to the top of a hole.
    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.
    Magnetic susceptibility (SI x 10-5): magnetic susceptibility of the sample, volume-corrected.
    Configuration filename: magnetic susceptibility instrument configuration file.
    Run filename: magnetic susceptibility raw data file.
    Auxiliary file filename: file containing additional drift correction parameters.
    Instrument: an abbreviation or mnemonic for the sensing device used to make this observation (MS2E or MS2K).
    Instrument group: abbreviation or mnemonic for the data collection device (logger) used to acquire this observation (SHMSL).
    Timestamp (UTC): date and time the observation was made.
    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.
