  9. Sampling Forms & Instructions

  10. Electronic Field Sample Form: TOC

  11. Electronic Field Sample Form: Sample Collection Form

  12. Electronic Field Sample Form: Sample Collection Form

  13. Electronic Field Sample Form: COC Print *this* sheet and send with lab samples Make sure samples are labeled with the correct sample ID

  14. Location Code Maps FTP Site: www.researchplanning.com/downloads

  15. Location Code Maps 1 2 Determining Location Code: Navigate to the Index Maps folder Open the Index Map for your state Determine the correct map number 3

  16. Location Code Maps 4 5 Determining Location Code: Navigate to Sample Grids folder Open the file corresponding to your map number Determine the correct grid cell and note the Location Code 6

  17. Location Code Maps 7 Determining Location Code: Note the Location Code on your Sample Collection Form

  18. Location Code Maps Water-Based Sampling: Given the extent of the Gulf activities, for water-based sampling please use the following convention: -- GU = Gulf of Mexico -- EC = East Coast -- Degree Latitude -- Degree Longitude For example, if you are sampling in the Gulf of Mexico at 27.30 North and -88.30 West, your code would be GU2788.

  19. Sample ID naming Convention • LocationCode – DateCode - Matrix SamplerTeam# Sample# • 6-digit Location code • 5-digit date: year letter and mmdd. • A=2010, B=2011 • Matrix letter, 2 or 3-digit sample team #, and 2-digit sample number • EXAMPLE: LAAM24-A0502-T0102 • LocationCode = LAAM24; Date = 5/2/2010, Matrix=Tissue; Sample Team # = 01; & Sample # = 02 • NOTE: Water Column data on Vessels (cruises) can use the cruise naming convention for Sample ID. (E-mail DATA.SMU@NOAA.GOV for more information)

  20. Water Column CruiseSampling ID Convention Example for Brooks McCall (BM): BM4211-WA01 Station ID = BM42 Niskin (or other sampler) Bottle # = 11, “-“, Sample Matrix = WA Water Subsample Number # = 01 Sample Matrix: WA=Water, SP=Surface Petroleum, BL=Blank Subsample number: Numbering system starts at 01 for each type of sample collected, 99 for surface sample.

  21. Taking NRDA Photography Why? • Validate Field Sample Photos • Provide a Visual Description of Field Conditions and Operations What do you need? Digital Camera GPS Unit Helpful GPS/Photo Documents on Trustee FTP: Home > TrusteesONLY > Sample Data > 0_Instructions_and_Forms > Field_Photo_Validation_Documents NRDA_Field_Photography_Guidance Basic_GPS_Skills GarminMapSource

  22. Requisite GPS Settings: • GPS/Camera must be set to local time (Set to 24-hour Military Time) • Garmin GPS: Turn GPS Unit ON> Menu > Setup > Time > Time Format = “24 hours” • Datum = “WGS 84” • Turn On GPS > Menu > Setup > Units > Map Datum = “WGS 84” 3) Set Track Log to “Wrap When Full” Turn On GPS > Menu > Tracks > Track Log (Track Log = “On”) > Setup > Check “Wrap When Full” • Set GPS to Decimal Degrees • Garmin GPS: Menu> Menu > Setup> Units > Position Format > hdd.ddddd GPS Terms: Tracks and Waypoints Tracks (or “Track Log”):The “breadcrumb trail”; a stream of continuous data points recorded when the unit’s Track Log is turned on, saved to GPS’ memory (ex. overflight path, extent of assessed shoreline) Waypoints: A specific location manually captured by the user and saved to GPS’ memory (ex. location of marine debris object, location of sample).

  23. When using GPS in the field: • Take a photo of your GPS unit with the Date/Time (with seconds!) • (Press “Menu” twice) • Make sure it is Clearly Visible • (double-check on camera) 2) Record a Waypoint when you take a sample When taking photos in the field: • Remember to take multiple photos at each sample point – perspective is important! Take a photo zoomed into the area of interest and then take it in context of the surrounding area. • Take photos to the “tell a story” of the sampling effort (i.e., record other events, other activities of interest) • Do not delete photos • Do not open photos before zipping – may change metadata

  24. Returning from the Field: • Connect your GPS unit to your computer (remember your cables) • Start GarminMapSource • Click on the “Receive from Device” icon. • Click Find Device (the name of your GPS unit will appear) • Under “What To Receive” > Click only Waypoints and Tracks • Click “Receive” (you will now see the tracks/waypoints for that day) • Save .gdb and .gpx files • File > Save As… > “YYYY_MMDD_LastName_FirstName” (Save as type: .gdb) • File > Save As… > “YYYY_MMDD_LastName_FirstName” (Save as type: .gpx) • Fill out NRDA Photo Logger Form • Home > TrusteesONLY > Sample Data > 0_Instructions_and_Forms > • Field_Photo_Validation_Documents > Photologger_Form

  25. Post to FTP: http://www.researchplanning.com/downloads 2010_0515_Herter_John.zip Scanned COC Documents Sample Data Photos • COC Form • FedEx Labels • NRDA Sample Collection Form • Log Book entries related to samples • Field Sampling form.xls • (either from NOAA Field Sampling Form or “Flat-File” Form) • Photos • .gpx + .gdb file • Photo Logger Form

  26. After you upload your data to: Home > Trustee Private Communications > Sample Data > YYYY_MMDD > YourZip.zip -Email dwhnrda@gmail.com to alert us to download • We bring your data into the NRDA Database • Then pass location coordinates to ERMA and uploaded onto:https://gomex.erma.unh.edu • We also upload images to the ftp: Home > BP_Trustee_NRDA > Maps > Operational 2010_0515_Herter_John.zip NRDA Database Thank you!
