Dive Activities from Cruise Information Management System (CIMS) for Estuary to the Abyss 2004: Exploring Along the Latitude 31-30 Transect - Office of Ocean Exploration

Information about dive activities were recorded into the Cruise Information Management System (CIMS) by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration's data manager during the "Estuary to the Abyss 2004: Exploring Along the Latitude 31-30 Transect" expedition, August 20 through September 1, 2004. Information contained in CIMS includes submersible, remotely operated vehicle, autonomous underwater vehicle, and SCUBA operational information and a summary of scientific observations during each dive; ship activity information (positions, transits, and visitor shuttles); sample information; water column and bottom conditions; weather observations; sea state observations; education and outreach activity information; media event information; scientific instrumentation information; transect information; dive site profiles; and a record of all data collected by principal investigators. The data presented here are the tables from the original CIMS which is a FileMaker Pro database.

Supplemental Information
The onboard CIMS used Filemaker Pro for its database. The onshore CIMS used Microsoft Access for its database.
Purpose The CIMS now captures all relevant information about activities and data collected and provides a comprehensive record of the expedition. This data set was compiled in support a demonstration of the prototype NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration Digital Atlas. It was formatted for incorporation into a Geographic Information System database.
