DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This is the output data from the Montecarlo particle backtracking for COMICS I, deployment 6.
The method for obtaining the data is described in the methods section of my thesis.

This dataset contains:
The following parameters:
mcRun - the Monte Carlo iteration number (output parameter)
trapCode - the sediment trap code in COMICS I (input parameter)
sinkingSpeed - the particle sinking speed (input parameter)
lonCapture - the longitude where the particle was captured (output parameter - interpolation between trapLonIn and trapLonOut)
latCapture - the latitude where the particle was captured (output parameter - interpolation between trapLatIn and trapLatOut)
depthCapture - the depth where the particule was captured (input parameter)
timeCapture - the datetime when the particule was captured (input parameter)
lonMLD - the longitude of the intercept between the particle trajectory and the base of the mixed layer (output parameter - corresponds to a point in the statistical funnel)
latMLD - the latitude of the intercept between the particle trajectory and the base of the mixed layer (output parameter - corresponds to a point in the statistical funnel)
depthMLD - the depth of the base of the mixed layer (input parameter - interpolated between grid points)
timeMLD - the datetime when the particle left the base of the mixed layer (output parameter)
trapLonIn - the longitude the trap left the surface (input parameter)
trapLatIn - the latitude the trap left the surface (input parameter)
trapLonOut - the longitude the trap surfaced after sampling (input parameter)
trapLatOut - the latitude the trap surfaced after sampling (input parameter)

Datetime formats is 'dd-Mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss' in the local time zone in the 24h format, for example: '27-Oct-1984 09:00:00' corresponds to 27 October 1984, 9am.
Coordinates (Longitude, Latitude) are in the WGS84 standard
