The USAP Portal: Science and Support in Antarctica - 2006-2007 Science Planning Summary

Event Numbering System

All projects are identified by a unique event number. It comprises a prefix, a 3-digit number, and a suffix.

Prefix

The prefix is a letter that indicates the USAP program funding a project.

Prefix	USAP Program (link to index)

W	Artists & Writers

3-Digit Number

List Projects By Event Number

The 3-digit number provides the uniqueness for each event number. No two projects have the same number.

Suffix

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 (link to index)
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.
