Carolina and I were examining a weird data point that showed up in a
data set she was preparing for the DPO textbook.  The value in
question was obviously wrong.  I told Carolina that it looked like a
decimal point error.  I was wrong.

This morning Kristin helped me look at the ODF data from this cruise.
Somehow the CTD oxygen value for this cruise/station/cast/bottle got
scrambled.  It is correct in the ODF records.  It is wrong in the
CCHDO on-line data file i07n_hy1.csv.

The correct CTDO value is 188.4 umol/kg, not 910.1 umol/kg.  A CCHDO
data person should change the value in the CCHDO on-line file.

Yesterday, 8/21/08, in accordance with this recommendation, Steve and
I corrected this value in the data files. We re-made the Exchange and
netcdf files and replaced all of the online bottle files on the
website . The files were then downloaded again from the CCHDO website
using a variety of analysis software and everything seems to be in
order.

I Replaced one decimal place DELC13 with two decimal places. Put new file online, made new exchange and netcdf files.

The c14 value of 11.7 (see 2 previous emails) was correct. I left it as is re Bob's email.

We're plotting sections from I07, and have a question about delC13:

I07N, station 764, bottle 34 at 61.8 dbar: value is 11.7.

This looks different from the surrounding values (vertically and horizontally) so we just want to check if it's OK.

Sharon Escher and Lynne Talley noted that a "bad" DELC14 value on sta. 709, bottle 12, 2793.6db. I checked the original file sent by Bob Key, and found that the value was indeed wrong. Changed the value in the online file, made new exchange and netcdf files.

Rezipped all ODF CTD files and replaced all current CTD files with updates. Put new zip file online. Needs to have exchange and NetCDF files created.

 Merged the new CTDTMP and THETA from ODF, the DELC14 and C14ERR from Key, the DELC13 from Gerlach, and the TCARBN and ALKALI from Kozyr. Created QUALT2 flags by copying QUALT1 flags. Merged the new CFC&s sent by Wisegarver. Made new exchange file.

Lynne Talley noticed that the parameters after TRITUM (only on that header line) were shifted one space to the left. I corrected the problem, saved the original file and updated the online versions.

Zafer - Is it safe to assume that all WOCE One-Time Survey neon data from you are now public?  Jim

Yes they are. Zafer

ODF has discovered a small error in the algorithm used to convert ITS90 temperature calibration data to IPTS68.  This error affects reported Mark III CTD temperature data for most cruises that occurred in 1992-1999.  A complete list of affected data sets appears below.

ODF temperature calibrations are reported on the ITS90 temperature scale.  ODF internally maintains these calibrations for CTD data processing on the IPTS68 scale.  The error involved converting ITS90 calibrations to IPTS68.  The amount of error is close to linear with temperature: approximately -0.00024 degC/degC, with a -0.00036 degC offset at 0 degC.  Previously reported data were low by 0.00756 degC at 30 degC, decreasing to 0.00036 degC low at 0 degC.  Data reported as ITS90 were also affected by a similar amount.  CTD conductivity calibrations have been recalculated to account for the temperature change.  Reported CTD salinity and oxygen data were not significantly affected.

Revised final data sets have been prepared and will be available soon from ODF (ftp://odf.ucsd.edu/pub/HydroData).  The data will eventually be updated on the whpo.ucsd.edu website as well.

IPTS68 temperatures are reported for PCM11 and Antarktis X/5, as originally submitted to their chief scientists.  ITS90 temperatures are reported for all other cruises.
_______________________________________________________________________
Changes in the final data vs. previous release (other than temperature and negligible differences in salinity/oxygen):

S04P:	694/03 CTD data were not reported, but CTD values were reported with the bottle data.  No conductivity correction was applied to these values in the original .sea file.  This release uses the same conductivity correction as the two nearest casts to correct salinity.

AO94:	Eight CTD casts were fit for ctdoxy (previously uncalibrated) and resubmitted to the P.I. since the original release.  The WHP-format bottle file was not regenerated.  The CTDOXY for the following stations should be significantly different than the original .sea file values:
	  009/01  013/02  017/01  018/01  026/04  033/01  036/01  036/02

I09N:	The 243/01 original CTD data file was not rewritten after updating the ctdoxy fit.  This release uses the correct ctdoxy data for the .ctd file.  The original .sea file was written after the update occurred, so the ctdoxy values reported with bottle data should be minimally different.

Hi Jim,
Sure, I would be glad to look over the Indian Ocean data for you. Sarilee has started plotting up I01 for me to start on. - Arnold

Merged TRITIUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, NEON, NEONER, DELHE3, DELHER from Z. Top into hyd file. Updated hyd file is on-line. Merging notes in original subdir 1998.12.18.I07N_HE_ZAFER_TOP.

Data from PI did not have cast numbers.  Verified all cast numbers were from cast "1", and
entered cast into data file.

Split data into individual data files for each parameter and removed blank spaces where no data was entered.  Had to do a lot of reformatting for each file.

I had verified with PI in a previous correspondence (I09N) that all data submitted was considered acceptible, and should be flagged as '2'.  Flags entered into data file for merging.

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. Please let me know if you get data okay.

This is a follow-up to last month's message requesting that all of our Pacific and Indian Ocean CFCs be made accessible to the public.  Our cruises are; (Pacific) P17C, P1716S, P06E, P19C, P17N, P21E, and (Indian) I09N, I05W/I04, I07N, I10. 

My helium-tritium data from IO legs I1-I7N and I9N may now be made
public . It should be kept in mind though that we are working on the
synthesis ; some modifications may occur. Also there are some papers are in
progress; interested parties should check with the tracer group (Schlosser,
Jenkins, Lupton, Top)

This is Ashwanth Srinivasan from Noble Gas Isotope Lab , RSMAS, Univ of Miami. We have submitted four files, i7he.txt, i9he.txt and i1he.txt and readme.he to the incoming directory at your ftp site. These files contain tritium, helium and neon data from WOCE I7N, I9N and I1 cruises. These data are preliminary and proprietary and the format is explained in the readme.he file.  In case of problems or questions please email to one of the following addresses.
