The post-cruise reports provided by the Chief Scientists for each cruise were scanned and converted to text files via OCR conversion. Some cruise reports provide extensive information, while other reports provide very little. In addition, there was no standardized format for these reports. The ASCII text files were then converted to an HTML version to standardize the format and provide quick links to important information. In addition, links to scanned cruise report attachments stored as GIF images, and newly generated cruise track maps have been added for the user’s reference.
