PH_TS, PHT, and PH_TS_Flag
Expocode: 35A319930213 Ship: L'Atlante Woce Line: A06 Note: I will be sending a separate e-mail in a few minutes with details for this one. These changes are critical.
I just uploaded file 35A319930213 to both sites. The file currently on line has significant problems with the carbon parameters. These were discovered by Anton Velo investigating the original data submission. The following action strongly recommended:
1. Delete the alkalinity values from your existing file. These values were calculated
2. From the file I submitted today import/add the PH_TS, PHT, and PH_TS_Flag values. The PH values that are currently in your copy of the file are at in situ conditions and only have 2 decimals. The ones in the newly supplied file are as measured (total scale at 25C, 3 decimals)
Unfortunately, you can?t do a file swap. Your copy of these files include N2, Ar, and CH4 data. My software doesn?t know the EXCHANGE name for these and thus I had to skip printing. Fixing that is another problem. Regardless, you should be able to just cut/paste the new pH values from my file into your existing file and then delete the existing pH and flag. This file is the reason for my earlier message regarding ?official? names for N2, Ar and CH4.

Sarilee,
I have something for you/Sharon. A06 & A07 He/Tr and CFCs (mostly flag changes for CFCs).
HE/TR (A06/A07)
He/Tr file is in:
a06/original/TRACERS_19990311/WOCE_A6A7.dat and it's a CSV file.
CFC:
in a06 & a07 (in original) under 2002_KLEIN
A6hy.txt & A7hy.txt
Here's what Birgit had to say about these data:
a6: the bottle data files we used and the one at your side are identical. The CFC data (F11,F12) are from a french group, we have notified them for minor changes we made to the quality flags. The quality byte 2 now contains the revised quality flags for f11 and f12. We also controlled the tritium and helium data set for this cruise. But it seems they have not been submitted to you yet. I will write to Jean-Baptiste and ask him, if he wants to submit the data. The helium data for this cruise turned out to be very poor quality and we have flaged them 3 for the entire data set anyway.
a7: the same comments as for a6. the bottle data files we used and the one at your side are identical. The CFC data (F11,F12) are from a french group, we have notified them for minor changes we made to the qualityflags. The quality byte 2 now contains the revised quality flags for f11 and f12. We also controlled the tritium and helium data set for this cruise. But it seems they have not been submitted to you yet. I will write to Jean-Baptiste and ask him, if he wants to submit the data. The helium data for this cruise turned out to be very poor quality and we have flaged them 3 for the entire data set anyway.
The whpo file was basically fine, but compared to our file 22 tritium values and 56 neon values were missing. I therefore included the tritium and neon values in the file I am sending you. The quality flags in byte 2 are updated for the tracers. CFC data are from the french, they were notified about changes in quality flags.
I have put 3 data files in WHPO ftp INCOMING area. These files are the final CO2-related data and quality flags for WOCE sections A14 (L'ATALANTE 35A3CITHER3/1), A13 (L'ATALANTE 35A3CITHER3/2), and SR03/S04 (P12, 09AR9404_1).
CTD has been converted to exchange using the new code and put online. The bottom half of the sumfile is missing the WOCE SECT ID. This was causing a problem with the exchange code. For the purpose of the conversion the column was filled in with A06.
CTD exchange files were slightly modified. The stations that were missing the SECT ID were given a name according to the cruise name. CITHER1L2; standing for CITHER 1, leg 2. This naming convention will be a standard for sumfiles missing the SECT ID.
created *check.txt file for the cruise. created .ps files.
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.

File contained here is a CRUISE SUMMARY and NOT sumfile. Documentation is online.
2000.10.11 KJU
Files were found in incoming directory under whp_reports. This directory was zipped, files were separated and placed under proper cruise. All of them are sum files.
Received 1997 August 15th.
Not to worry; I just went ahead and tackled A17. I don't think we need the French text or figures. We're almost finished with A17 and hope to transmit the QC'd data file to you later today or on Monday. Our current subcontract has run out of both time and money, so we'll be sending Jim another budget shortly. The only data set left of the South Atlantic legs that we
originally undertook is the A06 leg. Do you have any idea of what your next priority will be; and do you still need us to look at the A06 data?
I have separated 35A3CITHER1(1/2) which is A06/A07. The CTD and HYD files now have different files which reflect the contents of the SUM file. All tables and HTML files have been updated as well.
In addition, I have corrected the EXPOCODES in all of the CTD and hydro files.
-sd
Two stations appear ro have incorrect longitudes - station 51 has a longitude of
13 59.90 E and station 72 has a longitude of 26 29.97 E while all the
surrounding stations have Western Longitudes.
I have reformatted and separated A06 and A07 into individual
.sum files, leaving in the stations that were previously missing.
The files are in my ftp area on whpo in subdirectory A06A07.
I have replaced the old incomplete sumfiles with the newly split and reformatted versions, thanks to Sarilee. I have also regenerated the station plots for both lines to include the additional stations, and have updated the table to reflect the change in sumfiles.
Hi Sarilee- it was brought to our attention that the sumfiles for A6 and A7
are incomplete. They were split from one large file, and are currently
missing stations. I have put the original all-inclusive sumfile in my
incoming ftp area under A6A7 subdirectory along with a readme file. The
sumfiles need to be re-created from the original.

I agreed (to do the dqe) but never was able to get the software of Terry's to work. I told him and still we never succeeded. So at one time I had counted myself out.
I am not sure how go from there. At that time I had time and interest, but that faded away when it didn't work. I might reconsider if things are easier now and Viktor might help on my end of things.
Pressures are not always in ascending order.
The pressure 2220. is everywhere replaced by the pressure 2222..
The CTD data are not reported in a uniform pressure series in order of incresing pressure with a pressure resolution of 2 dbar. The CTD data have a pressure resolution 2 dbar in some files and of 1 dbar with large gaps with no data in most of files. For example, in the file CTH10123.WCT there are no data between 78. and 82. dbar and between others pression on depth.
"Following my previous letter of November 13, 1997, this one is to confirm that we are releasing the CTD-O2 data of the WHP sections A6 and A7 to the public domain".
Best regards,
Michel Arhan
You have the data and we agree (on the following condition) that the workshop participants can visualize them, but not hard-copy the graphics, nor get the data.
The condition is that each visualization should include the following informations:
- Name of cruise: CITHER-1
- Ship: N/O L'ATALANTE
- Dates: 2 Jan.-19 Mar. 1993
- Principal Investigator and affiliation (dependent on the displayed parameter):
CTDO2: M.Arhan(LPO/IFREMER) and Y.Gouriou(ORSTOM/Cayenne) for A7+35W.
H.Mercier(LPO/CNRS) and B.Bourles(ORSTOM/Cayenne) for A6+4W.
Nutrients: C.Oudot(ORSTOM/Cayenne) for A7+35W
C.Oudot(ORSTOM/Cayenne)+ P.Morin(LOC/UBO) for A6+4W
CFCs: C.Andrie (ORSTOM/LODYC) for A6,A7,35W,4W.
He3-Tr: Ph.Jean-Baptiste (LMCE/Saclay) for A6,A7,35W,4W.
CO2 system: C.Oudot(ORSTOM/Cayenne) for A6,A7,35W,4W.
In this way any workshop participants interested in a parameter for a given line will directly know whom the corresponding PI is, if they wishes to contact him.
