I'm finding problems with CTDTMP and THETA reported in the bottle data file for A05 (1992 data set)
http://cchdo.ucsd.edu/data/onetime/atlantic/a05/a05hy.txt

These cause huge bullseyes in density as well as not matching the CTD profiles at all.  Since there are no quality flags for these parameters, they can cause big headaches.  I suggest either replacing them with -9 or replacing them with the CTD profile values.

Station 52, bottle 3 should be 2.7423, etc.  I checked the CTD profile for sta. 52 and there is nothing like a 0.7423 at this depth.

Station 38, bottle 14 CTDTMP and THETA are clearly wrong.  CTDSAL  is also bad, but it's flagged.  (Of course there are no qflags for THETA, CTDTMP.)  I think they should just be replaced by -9 and qflag of 9, or filled in from the CTD profile.

You can find the information for Indian Ocean in 2002 on Charles Darwin cruise at: 
http://cdiac.ornl.gov/oceans/RepeatSections/clivar_i05.html
and 26°N in the Atlantic

However we do not have any data submitted by PIs from these cruises. Please, let me know, if you get more information or even better the data from these cruises. And if I have anything, I will let you know.

I am planning to make the Repeat Section Cruise summary Table that I've sent you last week in .doc format available on line as an HTML document through our web site. I am off to the European CarboOcean Program kick off meeting next week, so I will make this table available after I come back.

Could you check a05hy.txt file (EXPOCODE 29HE06_1 WHP-ID A05  DATES 072092-081792 20020821WHPOSIOSA), it has wrong CFCs flags.

Merged the DELC14 and C14ERR submitted by Bob Key. Made new exchange file. 

More a05 notes:

Merged the DELC14 and C14ERR data submitted by Bob Key.

Moved the submitted file from the website submittal area to ...a05/original/20020821.065747_KEY_A05_A05.C14.

Station 108, cast 1, sample 3 had 5 identical values.  The mrgsea program only merges the first one.

Original CTD files had a problem on a couple of files. Some lines were given 0 as a flag. This was changed to 9 and -9 for NUMB of OBS. Exchange/NetCDF files were remade.

Created *check.txt file for this cruise. sal and oxy .Ps files have Not been created for this cruise.

T.S. Peng's A05 C14 data from 6/7/1997 is ready and waiting to be decyphered and merged. We suffered a disk crash when these data were sent, but luckily, T.S. Peng sent a copy to Piers Chapman of TAMU and he forwarded these data on to the WHPO on 9/7/2001. T.S. Peng  originally sent this file via email.

The exchange bottle file name in directory and index file was modified to lower case.
CTD exchange files were put online.

File contained here is a CRUISE SUMMARY and NOT sumfile. Documentation is online.

2000.10.11 KJU
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.

Frank Millero has adjusted his 1992 A5 TCO2 and pH measurements right before our NDP went to press. I have changed these numbers in the data file for this cruise and put it in your INCOMING area. Please use this file when you merge the CO2 data into your hydro file.

Email is as follows:
I've just put a total of 13 files [carbon data measured in Indian (6 files)
and Atlantic (7 files) oceans] to the WHPO ftp area. 

I have put 2 files with final CO2-related data to your ftp area: File a15co2fin.dat is the data obtained during the R/V Knorr cruise along WOCE Section A15. The data were submitted to CDIAC by Dr. Catherine Goyet of WHOI. File a5co2fin.dat is the data obtained during Spanish R/V Hesperides cruise along WOCE Section A5. These data were submitted to CDIAC by Dr. Frank Millero of RSMAS.
