attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Shipboard underway thermosalinograph (TSG) and meteorology data, ~1-minute resolution, recorded continuously along the cruise track. One row per observation: a measurement of one quantity at one event, taxon and depth. `measurement_type` names the quantity and `measurement_value` holds it, so filter on measurement_type.
