Hi Mark- Sarilee and I have been working on remerging all of the CFC values in the list below.  I don't think she's run into any problems, but I need to run some questions by you before I finish. 

A12- Our file has CFC-ER values, so I just want to check and make sure that no updated values for CFC-ER exist to be merged along with the updated CFC values you sent us.  So, right now if I were to merge new CFC's, these values would be associated with the old CFC-ER values.

t was decided at today's CCHDO meeting to merge or remerge CFCs for all WHP cruises in Mark Warner's CFC DQE file (Southern Ocean WHO lines).  This will assure all that the CFCs for these cruises are indeed updated as intended.  Danie and Sarilee will attend to this promptly.  Danie will see that the sections of greatest urgency to Lynne receive top priority.

The list of cruises in Mark's file was as follows:

A21:		EXPOCODE: 06MT11_5
A23:		EXPOCODE: 74JC10_1
I06S:		EXPOCODE: 35MFCIVA_1
MARGINEX:	EXPOCODE: 09AR9604_1
S03_S04I:	EXPOCODE: 09AR9404_1
S04A:		EXPOCODE: 06AQANTIII_4
S04I:		EXPOCODE: 320696_3
S04P:		EXPOCODE: 90KDIOFFE6_1
SR04A_A12:	EXPOCODE: 06AQANTX_4
SR04_ANTXV4:	EXPOCODE: 06ANT15_4

It may be that the CFCs for the following cruises from the list above have already been updated:

>   sr04antxv4
>   s04p
>   a23
>   a21

But, to be certain, the CCHDO will update them as well.

As far as why these cruises did not get updated with Mark's DQE'd CFCs, we have no idea.  Sorry.  All of the other ocean basins' CFCs were updated years ago.

Merged data submitted by Birgit Klein in March of 1999 into online file. File was located in web site ...a12/original/1999.03.12_A12-SR04_06AQANTX_4.Klein_CFC.HE.TR.NE. Merged  CFC-11, CF11ER, CFC-12, CF12ER, TRITUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, NEON, and NEONER.
 
Had to e-mail her to clarify some non-WOCE standard QUALT1 flags and units for CFC's. Copies of her e-mails are in my notes file which has been sent to Jerry.

Here are my notes on A12/SR04 merging.

Made new exchange file. Both the new exchange file and hyd file have been put online.

Merged CFC-11, CF11ER, CFC-12, CF12ER, TRITUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, NEON, and NEONER.

File with these data submitted by Birgit Klein March 11, 1999 web site
...atlantic/a12/original/1999.03.12_A12-SR04_06AQANTX_4.KLEIN_CFC.HE.TR.NE. File name is reformatted2.txt

Merged into online file a12hy.txt (19990817WHPOSIOSA)

File from Klein had non-WOCE standard QUALT1 flags.  I e-mailed her asking her to let me know what flags should be used.  See copy of her e-mail below.

I converted the flags as proposed and agreed upon.

The units for the CFC-11, CF11ER, CFC-12, and CF12ER were labelled UMOL/KG.  Sent Birgit Klein an e-mail asking her if they were really UMOL/KG or if they are just mislabelled and should say PMOL/KG.

Changed units for CFC-11 and CFC-12 to PMOL/KG.  See e-mail from Birgit Klein below.

thanks for your mail, I am glad the data get finally merged. I agree with your conversions of our flags to woce standards. I should have resubmitted the data with proper flags, thank you for doing this job.

In March of 1999 you sent a data set to the WHP office here atScripps.  I am in the process of checking all data sets for completeness and find that the data you sent has not been merged into the online file.

In your e-mail to Steve you indicate that some of the quality flags are non-WOCE standards.  We need WOCE standard flags.  Would you look at the attached ascii file and let me know what flags I should use for the data.

I propose for the helium and neon to use

 5 where you have 1
4 where you have 7
2 where you have 8

For the cfc's

2 where you have 1
3 where you have 7

Please let me know if you agree with what I propose.  If not, please let me know what you would like done.

CTD has been converted to exchange using the new code and put online.

Bottle file in exchange format has been linked to website.

Files were found in incoming directory under whp_reports. This directory was zipped, files were separated and placed under proper cruise. All of them are sum files.
Received 1997 August 15th.

Helium and Neon use a non woce quality code scheme.  I can translate it and include a translation table in my merging notes, but the originator in her submission of data in March 1999 offered to resubmit using WOCE qual code scheme.
