[Platforms] UNITED STATES - RESOLUTION

[Donald Collins - NOAA Federal]

All,
Sorry to have taken so long to get some clarification on this old 
question. This got lost in the email flood. Hopefully, this will clarify 
any remaining concerns:

US NODC has data from OCSEAP 1976-1978 attributed to RESOLUTION, 
NODC/ICES code=32RS. This platform had an 'originator code' assigned as 
'RN', which was recorded in NODC numeric code set 0133 used in the 
OCSEAP data files, but we created the 32RS code back in the 1970s. There 
are (as far as I can tell) 5 NODC accessions that are properly 
attributed to the R/V RESOLUTION (I have not been able to find a call 
sign or other info about this vessel yet, other than an attribution as 
R/V in an OCSEAP report (See p.130 of Environmental Assessment of the 
Alaskan Continental Shelf Annual Reports of Principal Investigators for 
the year ending March 1977 Volume 1. Receptors - Mammals. Online at 
http://www.arlis.org/docs/vol1/OCSEAP2/Annual/5721406/A1977 v01.pdf).

US NODC has one MBT stripchart data set (NODC Accession 8700048) that is 
labeled with "J. RESOLUTION" from 1986, which coincides with the 
whereabouts of the Sedco/BP 471 (code 54SD) that was colloquially called 
the 'JOIDES RESOLUTION' even though the name was not officially 
registered as such until 1996.

So, I concur (at long last!) that there is a separate US platform R/V 
RESOLUTION, code=32RS. The US NODC platforms list now includes R/V 
RESOLUTION (32RS), UK RESOLUTION (74E8), JOIDES RESOLUTION (54JR), and 
Sedco/BP 471 (code 54SD).

I also concur that there is no need for multiple JOIDES Resolution codes.
Cheers,
Don
