Notes.

1. See document
UTM.htm
.

2. Field notes regarding moisture should be included in header and used to calculate columns. See base data from 1998 for an example. Field notes should also go on the web somewhere. Change feet to meters. Retain columns for longitude, latitude, Eastings, Northings and sample ID (unlike 1998 example). Add columns for Meters East and Meters North. Calculate from GIS data for SW corner of plot (
on web
).
