It was discovered that a typo in SALNTY units
in the parameters table of the website caused
a typo to be inserted in the finished merged
bottle file for p16s_2005a.

Therefore, the SALNTY units PSS-785 were
edited to PSS-78. The date/name stamp
was also edited to reflect this change.
The standard citation information was also
prepended to the file and the 00_README
file for this cruise.

Old version was moved to the original directory
and a notice of this edit was sent to Jerry
Kappa for the data history.

We have discovered a calibration problem with the del 13C data from
CLIVAR P16S and P16N. It is possible that the problem exists with
other cruises.

The C13 data have already been submitted to CCHDO and to CDIAC. I just
checked and it appears that only the P16S data are posted, and only at
CCHDO.

The 13C data are used in the calculation of D14C, however the
magnitude of the 13C calibration problem is small enough that the
effect on the D14C will be negligible.

What to do:
CCHDO - please remove the posted 13C data for P16S and do not post
those for P16N. The D14C data for P16N can be posted. Please add a
note to the "Data History" stating that the data for P16S were
removed. Another note will be needed once the corrected data are
available. This is not a proprietary data issue, we just don't want a
copy of the data that is known to need calibration in circulation.

CDIAC - the text for the printed NDP will state the 13C problem. Once
the problem is solved, we will submit the corrected 13C data and
replacement text for the on-line version of the NDP. We will want to
add a note to the data-download web page so that any end user will
know what they are getting. Your online data files need the C14 for
both cruises.

I have finished merging the following parameters into the P16s_2005a  
bottle file.  I have
placed all new files online and run the web_update script without any  
issues.  Below are
merging notes, please let me know if you have any questions.  No  
netCDF files could be
made at this time.

Merging Notes for P16s_2005a


Attempts to merge various data files using
JOA merge tool failed.  Data was merged using
mrgsea into WOCE-formatted bottle file.

Files to be merged:

ALKALI:  p16s_2005a_TALK_final_08182008.csv
sent by Alex Kozyr.  File was .csv and was
converted to fixed width spaced file in order
to use in mrgsea software.  Edited file is
p16s_2005a_TALK_final_08182008_edt.txt
Parameter mnemonic was edited from TALK to
ALKALI upone merging.

TCARBN, DOC:  p16s_2005a_TCO2_DOC_final.csv
and p16s_2005a_TCO2_DOC_final.csv.Readme
sent by Alex Kozyr.  File was .csv and was
converted to fixed width spaced file in order
to use in mrgsea software.  Missing value for
DOC was edited from -999.0000 t -9.0000 due
to total number of sigificant digits and bytes
exceeding WOCE format's limit of 8byte field
width.  Mrgsea would not merge successfully
otherwise.   Parameter mnemonic was edited
from TCO2 to TCARBN.  Edited file is
p16s_2005a_TCO2_DOC-9_final_edt.txt

DELC14, C14ERR, DELC13:
p16s_c14c13.csv was sent by Bob Key.  File
was .csv format and was converted to fixed
width for use with mrgsea.  Edited file is
p16s_c14c13_edt.txt

DCNS and other sugars:
p16s_dcns.txt was sent by Craig Carlson.
An update was sent on 2008.01.06 by Carlson.
File was tab delimited.  Converted to
fixed width.  Edited blank spaces to missing
value of -9.0.  Rounded all data values to
nearest whole number as per PI.  However,
in order to merge, values were whole numbers
with a precision of 1 decimal place set to
zero.  Edite file is p16s_dcns_test.txt
Sugar parameters merged from file are:
FUCO, RHAM, ARABA, GALA, GLUC, MAN, DCNS

BRDU: p16s_brdu_11.2007.txt was sent by
Craig Carlson. An update was sent on
2008.01.06 by Carlson.  File was tab
delimited.  Converted to fixed width.
Edited blank spaces to missing value of -9.0.
Precision was set to 2 decimal places.
Edited file is p16s_brdu_11_2007_edt.txt

CDOM:  p16scdom_s7a_resubmitted.txt
was sent by Norm Nelson.  File was
tab delimited.  Converted to fixed width
and edited missing value from -999.0000
to -9.0000 in order to adhere to WOCE
format field width constraints.  Kept
maximum precision of data which was
submitted as 4 decimal places.  Currently,
no information exists on precision of
these data.  Edited file is
p16scdom_s7a_resubmitted_edt.txt
Parameters merged from file are:
CDOM325, CDOM340, CDOM380, CDOM412, CDOMSL, CDOMSN


All parameters merged without error once files
were formatted to be accepted by mrgsea.
WOCE-format checking could not be completed
due to the presence of non-WOCE parameters
which are not recognized by the format-checking
software.

The file was converted to exchange format with
no apparent errors.  All parameters were included
in the exchange file.  This file was checked with
JOA and no apparent errors were detected.

The file could not convert to netcdf due to the
presence of unrecognized non-WOCE parameters
within the file.  The WOCE and exchange formatted
files were moved to the cruises parent directory.
All previous versions of the bottle file were
renamed and moved to the original directory.

A copy of this notes file was emailed to Jerry
Kappa.

Here are the final ALKALI numbers from Andrew Dickson. Please, merge the data into the HYD file. I noticed that DOC data have not been merged yet. I submitted the DOC numbers last year. TCO2 data are OK.

Notes:
These are the final DOC and TCO2 data for merging into the hydrographic file. Note, that the data was changed since Craig  Carlson last submitted the file to CCHDO and CDIAC. The TCO2 data was not changed since I submitted the file to CCHDO.

Here are the latest update on the Carbon Data status at CCHDO and CDIAC.

P16S_2005:
TCO2 - final data were not merged at CCHDO (data sent to CCHDO on 8/1/2006 by 
email);
TALK - no final data from Dickson;
DOC - no final data from Hansell.

Here is attached the final TCO2 (TCARBN) data and quality flags for Repeat Hydrography section P16S_2005, EXPOCODE 33RR200501. Please, merge the data into the final hydrographic file. Could you please send me a note that the data was merged

Merged CFC-11, CFC-12, and CFC-113 submitted by D. Willey on Oct. 4, 2005 into online file.  In the file she sent sta. 78, cast 1 had a bottle 16 at 1186.0 db but the online file had bottle 37.  I compared the cfc values in her file with those in the online file.  The values were the same so I changed the bottle number in her file to 37 and merged the data.

No other apparent problems.  

Made exchange and netcdf files.

The cruise p16s 2005 (33RR200501) is now online at the CCHDO website.  Work still needs to be done on particular file names and the NetCDF files, but the data is at least available to the public.  

Updated March 21, 2005

CLIVAR - P16S-2005
   Preliminary CTD + Bottle data and ODF documentation

Preliminary CTD and Bottle data are available in both WHP90.1
format (.sum/.hyd/.ctd) and WHP-exchange format (_hy1.csv/_ct1.csv).
Descriptions of both formats can be found at "http://whpo.ucsd.edu"
by clicking in the "Formats" section.  (Note that the filename
extensions on the WHPO/CLIVAR website may be out of date.)

The files named "P16S-2005*.zip" were created with the Linux zip (v2.3)
utility for the benefit of PC users.  The data can be expanded into
the directory "./P16S-2005" using "unzip" or "pkunzip" utilities.  Note
that pkunzip 2.04g/unzip 5.0p1 (or later versions) must be used to
extract files produced by pkzip 2.04 or zip 2.3.  Earlier versions
are not compatible.

CONTENTS of the directory ./P16S-2005 (approximately 39 Mbytes expanded),
broken down by .zip-file contents:

  P16S-2005-hy+misc.zip (5.7 megabytes expanded)
    README.P16S		comments regarding prelim. data release/documentation
    P16SDoc.pdf		prelim. documentation in Adobe pdf format
    P16SDoc.ps		prelim. documentation in PostScript format

    p16s-tm_ssscc_ct1.csv	WHP-Exchange format Trace Metal CTD data
		 		  45 casts (stations 1-111)
	Note that there is no Trace Metal CTD data for station 00102:
	the data were lost after the cast.

Non-standard parameter numbers used in .sum file (samples taken but
measurements not reported yet) are listed below:
  101	Carbohydrates 
  102	CDOM (Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Material)
  104	Chlorophyll
  106	Represents two measurements (taken on same station/bottle):
	  Particulate Absorption Spectra and Microsporin Like Amino Acids
	  High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography Phytoplankton Pigments
  107	Bacteria Growth Rate
  111	N-15
All other parameter numbers are taken directly from Appendix G from the
WHPO 90-1/rev.2 manual (see http://whpo.ucsd.edu/manuals.htm).

Bottle and CTD data and quality codes, plus calibration and processing
comments and figures in the documentation, were last updated at the
end of the cruise, before the ship reached port.  All these data and
documentation, including possible future updates to ODF data, are also
available at the ODF cruise website:
	http://sts.ucsd.edu/cruises/p16s/hydro
Logging in may be required in order to access the ODF data; updates
to cruise data should be made directly to the CLIVAR/WHPO office.

The ".pdf" documentation file can be printed out using Adobe Acrobat
Reader, freely available at the following website:
	http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

The ".txt" version of the documentation is available for those who
cannot use the ps/pdf versions.  Note that figures in the documentation
can only be printed with the ps/pdf versions and do not appear in the
ascii version.  Also, the ascii files are intended to be printed out
at 80 lines per page with a 90-character page width - typically elite
print.  The right margin of the ascii version is staggered and lines
do not begin with any white space at the request of PIs who wish to
merge parts of the ascii file into other cruise documentation.
