Note on CFC units correction. EXPOPCODE 316N151_3 May 11, 2011
Changed CFC units from PMOL/L to PMOL/KG in WOCE, Exchange and NetCDF
bottle files.
Original data file from Deborah Lebel, LDEO, received April 10, 2002,
says "08 Apr 2001; CFCs are in pmol/kg"
2008.08.25 DBK
New merging subdirectory is:
2008.08.04_second_mrg_attmpt
Previous merge attempt and all associated data files are located in:
2007.11.19_sumbitted_he_ne_tr_jenkins
In order to work around the quality flag rigidity of mrgsea, copies of the
helium and tritium files were created with two columns of identical quality
bytes for each corresponding data value. The software mrgsea then puts
both quality bytes in each of the two quality words exisiting in the bottle
file. Helium and neon file is: acce01_trit_sub_edtQB.csv
Tritium file is: acce01_trit_sub_edtQB.csv
where QB stands for the edited Quality Byte column.
The merging process was then identical to the first attempt at merging
described below. No errors were enocuntered. Copies of all output files and all
unmerged samples (due to duplicate sampling/station) have been included
in the above subdirectory (in unmrgd_samps). Final output bottle file
is called: a20hy_dhe3dher_heher_nener_trter.txt
This file was reanmed a20hy.txt and format tested with wocecvt. No
errors were encountered. Duplicate depths exist. The following parameters
were not recognized by wocecvt:
PCO2
C14ERR
CFC113
2008.08.22 DBK
During format checking it was discovered that the merging process for these
data places the quality byte for each corresponding value in the incorrect
quality word in the woce-formatted bottle file. This quality byte is also
subsequently left out of the exchange file during conversion, due to it's
placement in the incorrect quality word. A solution to this issue is being
investigated at this time.
2008.08.18 DBK
Jenkins was notified on 2008.08.14 of two problem stations. The values were
edited accrodingly. New file containing corrected values is
located in 2007.11.19_sumbitted_he_ne_tr_jenkins and is called
acce01_he_ne_sub_edtQB.csv
See email below:
Hello Dr. Jenkins,
I have been working on merging the helium and tritium data into A20 (316N151_3) and
found the following questionable values. Could please advise us on a course of action?
stn 62/ cst 1/ smp 18 neon value is -77.180 (range is 0-10)nmol/kg. Flag is 2 (acceptable value)
stn 86/ cst 1/ smp 13 helium value is 3.575 (range is 1-3)nmol/kg. Flag is 2 (acceptable value)
The bottle file for this cruise is online at CCHDO. Please review the WOCE -formatted bottle file
for referencing the merged data. There is a flag discrepancy in the exchange bottle file that we
have discovered and are working on fixing at the moment. Please let me know if you have any
questions or find any problems.
Thank you for pointing out the problems. Station 62/1/18 was a failed analysis (the mass spectrometer lost the peak) so should be classed as a bad number. Sample 86/1/13 had a leak in its sample tube, so should also be rejected. I'm sorry these slipped through our QC.

Merging helium, delhelium3, neon:
Original file had very large precisions. File was
edited as follows below to adhere to WOCE handbook:
helium: from F8.9 to F8.3
neon: from F8.9 to F8.3
delhelium3: from F8.3 to F8.2
Values were edited into a fixed width file in order
to use mergsea. original file called acce01_he_ne_sub.csv
edited file named acce01_he_ne_sub_edt.txt
Mrgsea did not merge the following station/cast/niskin
combinations: In all cases the first of the four
replicate measurements was merged by the program,
however it should be noted that duplicate cst/stn/samp
combinations do exist for these bottles and the values
contained within the bottle file are not averages of the
duplicate mearsurements below:
35 / 1 12

Format Checking Final File:
Resultant/final merged file named a20hy_dhe3_er_he_er_ne_er_tr_er.txt
was renamed a20hy.txt and format checked with wocecvt with no
errors reported.
Converted file to exchange with no errors. File named a20_hy1.csv
Checked exchange file in JOA. File loaded with no problems.
Following values seem suspect and Jenkins should be notified:
stn 62/ cst 1/ smp 18 neon value is -77.180 (range is 0-10)nmol/kg
stn 86/ cst 1/ smp 13 helium value is 3.575 (range is 1-3)nmol/kg
Converted file to netcdf with no errors reported. final zipped
file is a20_nc_hyd.zip

Since submission of the final CFC data for the repeat of WOCE line A20 (Kn173/1), Sept 22 - Oct 20, 2003, we have found some data points that are questionable and should be flagged as such. All CFC data for station 38 and for bottles 24, 26, 32, 34, 35, 36 of station 40 should be flagged as questionable.
Thanks for the updates and we'll revise these data points and let you know when it's been done.
Dear Dr. Pickart,
I found a paper: "WOCE/ACCE cruises in the subtropical N. Atlantic on KNORR in 1997" by yourself, Terry. Joyce and Bob Millard.
With your permission I would like to include this paper, or just the parts related directly to A20, in the WOCE cruise report, with appropriate citation, of course.
Please let me know if this is alright with you.
Of course you can include any or all of this in your report.
I have downloaded the NetCDF bottle data from the 1997 occupation of the a20 line. All freon_11 & freon_12 values, in all of the files, are missing values (-999). Based on the NetCDF metadata and the Data History from the web, it looks like the NetCDF files were generated before the CFCs were merged. Could this be looked into please?
Keith Lindsay (see email below) noted that the NetCDF file was generated before the CFC's were merged. I regenerated the NetCDF files for the bottle data using the Apr. 9, 2003 file a20_hy1.csv, and put the file online. I emailed Keith to let him know the file had been updated.
Corrected PHSPHT flags re e-mail from A. Kozyr. Merged DELC13 from Gerlach, DELC14 and C14ERR from Key, and TCARBN, ALKALI, PH and PCO2 from Kozyr. Put file online, made new exchange file, sent notes to Jerry.
a20 merging notes:
April 8, 2003
Alex Kozyr noted (see e-mail below) that the flags for PHSPHT were 1 in the online file. He had a file with the time stamp 20000607WHPOSIODMB that had correct flags. I copied the PHSPHT flags from 20000607WHPOSIODMB into the online file.
Merged the DELC13 from file found in ... original/20020401.071220_GERLACH_A20
Merged DELC14 and C14ERR from file found in ... original/20030109_A20_C14_KEY.
Data history indicated that in May of 2002 Kozyr submitted final data for TCARBN, ALKALI, PH, PCO2, and PCO2TMP. I got this data from his web site and merged it.

Data from Key in e-mail message checked/decoded and placed in appropriate directory in "original" data area.
The A20 and A22 C14 results are attached. I have QC'ed the data and each file contains flag values.
I just got these a couple of days ago, but they can go public as soon as NOSAMS releases the printed data report which should be very soon.
It'll take me about 2 weeks to get my "final" report to you.
The electronic version of the data I received from NOSAMS did not include C13, but they (Ann McNichol) should have those numbers.
Merged the CFC11 and CFC12 submitted by Lebel in April, 2002 into the online file. Put new file online, and made a new exchange file.
Notes on A20 merging:
Alex Kozyr sent an e-mail asking about CFC's for a20. I checked
and found 20020410.102538_LEBEL_A20.a20.dat in /usr/export/html-public/
data/onetime/atlantic/a20/original/20020410.102538_LEBEL_A20.
I merged the CFC11 and CFC12 from this file into the online file 20020205WHPOSIODM. There were no apparent problems.
There were 4 stations whose pressures were not in descending order. I reordered those stations.
I have put the final CO2-related data files for the N. Atlantic Ocean WOCE Sections A20, A22, and A24 to the WHPO ftp INCOMING area. There are 4 CO2 parameters: Total CO2, Total Alkalinity, pH, and pCO2 (with pCO2 temp) with quality flags. Note, that these data are different from those you have in your data base for these cruises on WHPO web site. Please confirm the data submissio
The data disposition is: Public
The file format is: Plain Text (ASCII)
The archive type is: NONE - Individual File
The data type(s) is: Other: updated/finalized CFC data with QUALT2 flags
The file contains these water sample identifiers:
Cast Number (CASTNO)
Station Number (STATNO)
Bottle Number (BTLNBR)
Sample Number (SAMPNO)
LEBEL, DEBORAH would like the following action(s) taken on the data:
Merge Data
Place Data Online
Update Parameters
Any additional notes are:
This is the finalized CFC data from A20. Scale is SIO98. Includes QUALT2 flag.
Moved data from /usr/export/html-public/cgi/SUBMIT/INCOMING/20020401.103223_GERLACH_A20 to /usr/export/html-public/data/onetime/atlantic/a20/original/20020401.103223_GERLACH_A20. Data contains a readme file from the data submission page and a txt file called 20020401.103223_GERLACH_A20_a20_desc.txt that lists the flags for the replicate value, it is a detailed listing of those stations which have c13 flags.
Carbon data merged with web bottle file. Exchange file version on-line. WOCE format version will be on-line after web links modified.
Notes on A20 merging Feb 6, 2002 D.Muus
1. Merged TCARBN, ALKALI, PCO2 and PH from:
/usr/export/html-public/data/onetime/atlantic/a20/original/2001.05.04_A20_A22_A24_CARBON_KOZYR/a20carb.txt
into A20 bottle file from web (20010328WHPOSIOKJU)
2. Used QUALT1 codes for QUALT2.
3. Unable to find CFC data from LDEO(Smethie). Table says at WHPOSIO but not in .../onetime/atlantic/a20/original. Table says He/Tr not yet available from Jenkins(WHOI) and C-14 not yet available from Key(Princeton).
4. Sta 75 Ca 1 Sample 33 has CTDPRS -0.5db which gives wocecvt error. Changed to 0.0db.
5. Made new exchange file for Bottle data.
6. Checked new bottle file with Java Ocean Atlas.
CTD has been converted to exchange using the new code and put online.
*check.txt file created for this cruise.
CTD, Bottle
The following are results from the examminer.pl and plotter.pl code that were run on this cruise. Not all of the errors are reported but rather a summery of what was found. For more information you can go to the cruise directory, and look at the NEW file called CruiseLine_check.txt. Two plot files are also present. _oxy.ps and _sal.ps
***********************************************************
The _oxy.ps and _sal.ps files created.
CTD file is producing errors. Missing some values because examiner.pl reports use of uninitialized values for the files in ct1.zip
No _check.txt file created for this cruise
A20 316N151_3 Birdwhistell listed as PI for missing He/Tr data but WHPO presumes this means Jenkins.WHPO records indicate he/tr data not yet submitted. Request for earliest possible submission sent to Bill Jenkins.
The exchange bottle file name in directory and index file was modified to lower case.
CTD exchange files were put online.
Bottle file in exchange format has been linked to website.
I have put the final CO2-related data files for the N. Atlantic Ocean WOCE Sections A20, A22, and A24 to the WHPO ftp INCOMING area. There are 4 CO2 parameters: Total CO2, Total Alkalinity, pH, and pCO2 (with pCO2 temp) with quality flags. Note, that these data are different from those you have in your data base for these cruises on WHPO web site. Please confirm the data submission.
One of the pi's in a20 gave me the following corrections to be made to the sum file.

Please mark these data as public and include them on the cdrom.
I just put the A20 data in your anonymous ftp INCOMING. One of the zipped rpt files is the one you got from Bob Pickart, the other one i constructed from data i got fromthe nutrient people, the ctd people, and post cruise processing that i did to the data. Questions re data aquisition should be directed to Terry Mckee (TMcKee@whoi.edu), data calibration to Bob Millard (RMillard@whoi.edu). Anything else (ie unit conversion, Temp conversion, formatting...) I can try to handle.
I just put the 'zipped-up' cruise report and sum file in INCOMING.
