Expocode: 316N145_8 Ship: R/V Knorr Woce Line: I03 Note: Update DELC13 flags that were used for the Indian Ocean Atlas, as given to Lynne Talley from Bob Key.
Update DELC13 flags that were used for the Indian Ocean Atlas, as given to Lynne Talley from Bob Key.
The following files are now available online under 'Files as received', unprocessed by the CCHDO.
i3c13flags.txt
The U.S. WOCE Indian Ocean Survey consisted of 9 cruises covering the period December 1,1994 to January 22,1996.All of the cruises used the R/V Knorr operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. A total of 1244 hydrographic stations were occupied with radiocarbon sampling on 366 stations.
As per Lynne Talley's email and Bill Jenkin's clarification, the tritium Q2 byte has been changed from 2 to 3 for station 490, 1211.7 dbar. It was determined that the tritium measurement was erroneous. All files have been remade and previously online files have been renamed and moved to the original directory.
Hi Bill and Peter -
I'm working on the I3 Indian Ocean Atlas section. I'm suspicious of a tritium value on station 490, at 1211.7 dbar - the reported value is 0.2177 and it really sticks out on a vertical section (surrounded by values that are nearly 0).
Can you check this value for me? The quality flags are 2.
I note that the Data History says that you expect there will be some minor problems with the data set - so this might be in that category?
The measurement is from our lab at WHOI. I agree with you that it doesn't fit in, but there's nothing in our analysis information that indicates that there is a bad measurement per se. I checked back through all our documentation, and the degassing and the mass spectrometer analysis appear nominal, and there's no notes on the sampling. The only explanation I have is that maybe the sample was drawn from the wrong niskin: this seems unlikely since the nearest niskin that would have the appropriate tritium level would be bottle 23, and the bottle assigned to that sample is bottle 18. Moreover, there is no suggestion that tritium samples got swapped (all the the other tritium points seem fine). Our records show that someone from the LED group (initials "DS") drew the samples, and perhaps Peter might know who that is.
Remerged the DELC14 and C14ERR from a new file sent by Bob Key into online file 20020816WHPOSIOSA. There was only one Q flag so I copied it to both Q1 and Q2.
Remerged the DELC13 from file 20020401.095934_GERLACH_I03_whpo_i03.txt found in /usr/export/html-public/data/onetime/indian/i03/original/ 20020401.095934_GERLACH_I03 into the online file to replace one decimal place values with two decimal place values. Only one Q flag so I copied it to Q1 and Q2.
Remerged the deep HELIUM, DELHE3, and NEON, data from file i3HeN3.SEA found in /usr/export/html-public/data/onetime/indina/i03/ original/2000.06.02_I3_DOC_SEA into online file. Only one Q flag so I copied it to Q1 and Q2.
HI Sarilee - thanks very much - yes, please copy the flags from q1 to q2. I think that Schlosser must have sent the data. Lynne
Lynne,
I don't know where the -1.9 came from. It is certainly incorrect. I back-checked my files all the way to the data report issued by NOSAMS and found no such listing. At any rate, good catch. I've attached a dump of all I03 C14 values from my master in case the WHPO file was somehow corrupted. The correct value for 507-1-13 at 2627.4 is -186.00 +/- 2.21 flag=2.
Lynne, The original data has more decimal places. I'll remerge them and let you know when they are finished.
Lynne, The file from which the deep delhe3, helium, and neon were merged only had one flag and no indication whether it was Q1 or Q2. I can certainly copy the flags from Q1 to Q2 if that is what you want. There is no indication of who submitted the data.
Hi Bob - Working on Indian Ocean sections for the atlas now.
On section I03, station 507, 2627.4 dbar, the reported value of delc14 is -1.9. All surrounding values are -185 or so, so this must be a mistake. There is no quality flag indicating a problem. Can you check this for me?
Hi Sarilee and others - it appears that for some reason the qualt2 flags for delhe3 at depths generally greater than 2000 dbar are all set to 9, but there is data, and the qualt1 flags are 2's. Can someone check into this?
Sharon - can you remake the I3 delhe3 section using the qualt1 flags?
Hi Bill and Peter -
I'm working on the I3 Indian Ocean Atlas section. I'm suspicious of a tritium value on station 490, at 1211.7 dbar - the reported value is 0.2177 and it really sticks out on a vertical section (surrounded by values that are nearly 0).
Can you check this value for me? The quality flags are 2.
I note that the Data History says that you expect there will be some minor problems with the data set - so this might be in that category?
Hi Sarilee and all - the delc13 values on I03 are given to 1 decimal place. Did the data have more decimal places? If not, then I'll write to Bob Key to see if he has a different version of the data.
Merged the deep HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, NEON, and NEONER into online file. Made new exchange file.
Merge notes for i03:

into new bottle file.
Tritium data set has 5 samples with duplicate values. Only the first value was used. All agreed within error values.
Tritium value reported for Station 499, Cast 1, Bottle 27, 457db: 1.1203 TU with error .0044 TU and quality code 2.
No sample recorded on Sample Log. Do not know why one sample taken at this level only, or if this belongs to another station.
Value looks high for this level compared to Stations 496 and 501.
Changed QUALT2 code for this sample to 3.
Deep Helium (Schlosser,LDEO) data not yet available.
3. Added QUALT2 identical to QUALT1.
6. Added parameter numbers for DELHE3 and NEON to web SUMMARY file
where appropriate.

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.

An oceanographically-insignificant error in CTDTMP data for this cruise has been found (ca. -0.00024*T - 0.00036 degC). A data update is forthcoming. In the interim the corrected data files can be obtained from: ftp://odf.ucsd.edu/pub/HydroData/woce/crs
The quote of mine (9/29/99) about the Ba WOCE data summarizes the present status. I have not received supplementary funding to re-run the samples in a manner that includes an index element that could be related to the original salinity values. They are all archived here with the hope that it could happen at some point. It's a hard sell the the funding agents unfortunately.
My group collected radium samples on several WOCE legs in the hope of being able to analyze them "in the background". We never received any funding for this work and the analytical capability no longer exists at P'ton. It is safe to assume that nothing will ever come from this effort. For those sample collection efforts currently recorded in WOCE bottle files, the simplest thing would be to drop the column altogether. Lacking that, all recordings on U.S. legs can be flagged 5.
It was brought to my attention that the WOCE Pacific/Indian He-Tr data was not as yet made public. After submitting it to you last year, I had intended on going through it one more time to ensure there were no problems with it. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to do this. Is it possible, therefore, to release it as public data, and if there are any subsequent minor revisions, to make changes? I suspect there might be a few samples in the set that might have got through our initial quality control.
following up on bill jenkins's message, i would like to ask you to make public all ldeo woce tritium/he data that have been submitted to you. because the tritium/he community has not yet finished the final calibration of the data, i might have to apply minor corrections to these data once the intercal. effort has been completed. our acce work was funded over a 5-year period that ended in 2000. consequently, this data set is further behind in quality control before submission, but i expect that we will get these data ready soon.
SR3 was never funded in a 'regular' fashion, but i used noaa corc funds to keep the measurements of this sample set moving. i expect to finish the analyses this summer and submit them in fall.
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

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.
I have put the final CO2-related data file for the Indian Ocean WOCE Section I3 to the WHPO ftp INCOMING area. There are two CO2 parameters: Total CO2 and alkalinity with quality flags.
The quality of the Ba data from most WOCE legs in the Indian Ocean turned out to be quite poor; far worse than attainable analytical precision (+/-20% as opposed to 2%). We recorded many vials which came back with loose caps and evaporation associated with that seems to be the primary problem. The only hope I have of producing a decent data set is to run both Ba and a conservative element simultaneously and then relating that to the original salinity of the sample. We will be taking delivery on a high resolution ICPMS here at OSU sometime this winter which would make the project analytically feasible and economical. I do not presently have the funds in hand to do this and so have archived the samples for the time being. I don't think the WHPO would derive any benefit from the present data set.

I've merged updated cfc-11/12 values (from Ray Weiss) into the i03
316N145_8 bottle data file, and updated the table accordingly.
