Notes:
** Start and end times were taken from temporal extremes of the CTDT data for each tow
(as listed at http://cerveza.ocean.washington.edu/zephyr/radman/mz2_townav.html); other times were taken from the written logbinder.
"** If the S/B/E fish fixes (lat/long) were recorded for a particular cast, those data were used as start/end locatations."
"** In any other case (primarily vertical casts), the ""best"" locations (sometimes ship, sometimes fish) indicated in the logs were utilized."
"** All times and dates are GMT; All lat/longs are N and W, respectively."
