Expocodes for sum and bottle were modified.
Expocodes in all ctd files have been editted to match the underscored expocode in the sum and bottle files
New files were zipped and replaced existing ctd files online. Old files were moved to original directory.
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.
New PDF and text docs online.
I believe this is the final A15 DQE report. I'm attaching the report in both word and text formats. I've also attached the last group of figures 10 - 20. Look it over & let me know if it is complete.
Modified CTD exchange zip file by renaming station files so they are in chronological order. Used a15 instead of ar15 for all file names as in woce format ctd file.
Merged revised ODF tempertures, TCO2 and Alkalinity into current web bottle file. Replaced CTD files with revised ODF files. New bottle and ctd files now on web with new exchange files. Details in notes file sent to Jerry.
Notes on A15/AR15 merging:
1. Merged A15 CTDTMP and THETA from ODF Revised Temperature file:
/usr/export/ftp/pub/HydroData/woce/a15ar15/a15ar15hyd.zip into bottle file (a15hy.txt 20010329WHPOSIOKJU)
2. Merged A15 TCARBN and ALKALI from CDIAC web site into new bottle file:
http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/oceans/a15woce/a15dat/txt
3. Replaced CTD data files with Revised ODF CTD files with corrected temperatures from:
/usr/export/ftp/pub/HydroData/woce/a15ar15/a15ar15ctd.zip. Changed file names from ssscc.ctd to a15_0sss.wct for Cast 1 to a15_0sss.2.wct for Cast 2 where sss = Station Number cc = Cast Number to conform to present WOCE file name format.
4. Made new exchange files for CTD and Bottle data.
5. Checked new data files with Java Ocean Atlas.
A15 - Our position data was slightly different than the WOCE position data probably due to different times when the position was recorded (e.g one file prabably used CTD at depth and other CTD in water). Added CFC data to our file which was missing from the file we obtained from Alex.
The exchange bottle file name in directory and index file was modified to lower case.
CTD exchange files were put online.
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.

Detailed information indicates this is the final and revised version of the data.
Moved directory A15_DQE from /usr/export/ftp-incoming.2000.14.02/
File has been DQE'd for salinity, ctd, oxygen, silicate.

Sent by R. Millard on December 28th, 1999.
Most recent online version has cfc11, cfc12.
Both pdf and text docs have been updated and are online.
The pdf doc is already up but the text version has recently been added online.
Your new values for A15 CFCs have been merged and placed on the website.
Existing .sum file probably has BE time wrong on stn=138 cst=1. 1359?
Existing .hyd file has missing values as "-9" instead of "-9.00". Some
Fortran code will read this incorrectly.
In a15_cfc_Smethie.dat changed:
stn=19 cst=1 to cst=2. cst=1 was aborted for winch trouble.
stn=33 cst=1 btlnbr=32 to btlnbr=41
stn=33 cst=1 btlnbr=30 to btlnbr=37
stn=45 cat=1 to cst=2. cst=1 was bio-optics
stn=55 cst=1 btlnbr=36 to btlnbr=38
stn=108 cst=1 to cst=2. cst=1 was aborted.
stn=138 cst=1 to cst=5. cst=1 was aborted.

The final A15 CFC data was sent to you on March 13, 2000. After you have merged these data with the final hydrographic data, the CFC data should be made public.
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.
Tried logging on to transfer A15 report and graph files a couple of times today with no luck. Off tomorrow so may have to wait until the year 2000.
I'm not sure why, but the AR15 stations were stripped from the sumfile, before it was put out on the onetime table as A15. So, actually stations 1-27 AND stations 110-153 are missing, both legs correspond to the repeat sections of this cruise. We found the original file with both the repeat legs in it, but one of our check programs indicated that it may need WOCE reformatting. At first glance it looks fine, but it will be go into the queue for this. You can have it as is, if you need it soon. Just let me know how you would like it (ftp, attachment, etc...).
I'm working on the WOCE files for A15 section I got from WOCE site, and came across a problem in station file. There's no station data for stations 1-27, but there's bottle data.
We've finished up our notes on the A15 oxygen and nutrients. I'll attach them as a WORD 97 document. If an Excel spreadsheet summary would be easier for you to handle, just let us know.
I will ftp the A15.HY2 file to your site in a few minutes.
A15 (Smethie: 316N142_3) is now public, both CTD and Bottle. the Bottle file only contains Nuts/O2, no CFCs, but we have CO2 waiting to be merged in.
Yes Jim, please make these data public.

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.
