Event Numbering System | ||||
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| All projects are identified by a unique event number. It comprises a prefix, a 3-digit number, and a suffix. The prefix is a letter that indicates the USAP program funding a project: |
| Prefix | USAP Program | ||
A |
Aeronomy & Astrophysics | ||
B |
Biology & Medicine | ||
G |
Geology & Geophysics | ||
I |
Glaciology | ||
O |
Oceans & Climate Systems | ||
W |
Artists & Writers | ||
T |
Technical Event | ||
 |
|||
| The 3-digit number provides the uniqueness for each event number. No two projects have the same number. | |||
 |
|||
| The suffix represents the supporting station. If field work takes place at more than one location the event number carries more than one suffix separated by a slash. | |||
| Suffix | Supporting Station | ||
M |
McMurdo Station | ||
P |
Palmer Station | ||
S |
South Pole Station | ||
L |
R/V Laurence M. Gould | ||
N |
RV/IB Nathaniel B. Palmer | ||
E |
Special projects supported by the USAP. Examples include investigators working with other national antarctic programs, groups working on islands in the peninsula. |
