This week I worked on getting the coordinate function working in the field science database. It’s now up and running, which means we have a quick and easy way of finding the distance between two points in our table. This is help a lot with remaining cleanup, since we’re now able to get a distance value between two points to help us understand if the data we’re looking at is where we think it is.

I will work with Charlie this week to start populating the readings tables with all the missing sectors in the Iceland 2014 data, which is now easier now that this function allows us to contextualize the difference between two consecutive points in the table. This also gives us the ability to see how many of the points in the table are within a given mile radius, which is also going to be really useful with clean-up.
