      B.  CRUISE SUMMARY
      
      The cruise track and station locations of leg 4 are shown in Figure 1. The ship 
      departed Kobe on February 25, 1992, and made 6 CTD/rosette stations of  
      section PR17. 4 XBT stations were made between CTD/rosette stations. To the 
      first CTD/rosette station the ship reached at 1030 UTC on February 26, from the 
      last station departed at 1214 UTC on February 27.
      
      The CTD is EG&G NBIS Mark III B (6500 db type, no oxygen sensor). Water samples 
      were collected from 1.7 liter Niskin bottles mounted on the General Oceanics
      Rosette multisampler. However, surface water samples were collected by a 
      bucket.

      C.  MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND CALIBRATIONS
      
      C.1  CTD
      
      The CTD is EG&G NBIS Mark III B (6500 db type, no oxygen sensor). A HP 9000 
      Series 300 model 330 (Hewlett Packard) with 4 MB of memory was used as the 
      primary data collection device. 
      
      The temperature and pressure sensor were calibrated at the calibration facility 
      of SðEðA CO., LTD before the cruise. The results are shown in Table 3.
      
      Temperature and pressure (increasing) calibration values are used to correct CTD 
      data, by linear interpolation inside the calibrated regime. CTD data outside of 
      the regime is corrected by the calibration values on the boundary, at the each 
      side.
      
      Notice that the upcast pressure data is corrected by Pressure (increasing), not 
      Pressure (decreasing) in Table 3.

      We collected water samples at 5 stations to decide the conductivity sensor 
      calibration constants, and done salinity analyses by using the salinometer,
      AUTO-LAB model 1601. But the measured salinity value of the water samples were
      too low to decide the calibration constants, for example, 34.634 (pss) for the 
      sample collected at the depth of 3782 decibar in pressure.
      
      In the result, we assume the conductivity sensor calibration constants in Table 
      4, not using the measured salinity value of the water samples.

      The temperature of "SU9202.SEA" and "SU????_?.CTD" files are described with the 
      international temperature scale of 1990, ITS-90.
      
      
      C.2  OXYGEN MEASUREMENTS
      
      The determination of dissolved oxygen was done by the modified version of the 
      Winkler method described in "Kaiyo Kansoku Shishin (Manual of Oceanographic 
      Observation)" published by the Oceanographical Society of Japan (1970). No 
      estimation of accuracy and precision and reagent blank has been done.
      
      
      C.3  NUTRIENTS ANALYSES
      
      The nutrients analyses were done by the Technicon Auto Analyzer II described in 
      "Kaiyo Kansoku Shishin (Manual of Oceanographic Observation)" published by the 
      Oceanographical Society of Japan (1970). No estimation of accuracy and precision 
      has been done.
      
      
      C.4  pH MEASUREMENTS
      
      The pH measurements were done by the pH meter (Denki Kagaku Keiki co., LTD) 
      described in "Kaiyo Kansoku Shishin (Manual of Oceanographic Observation)" 
      published by the Oceanographical Society of Japan (1970). No estimation of 
      accuracy and precision has been done. Notice that the order of measurements is 
      0.01.
      
      
      C.5  NOTES FOR THE SU9202.SUM, SU9202.SEA AND SU????_?.CTD FILES
      
      The first 2 characters of the file name of *.SUM, *.SEA and *.CTD files are SU 
      for R/V Shumpu Maru of Kobe Marine Observatory. These characters are followed by 
      the last two digits of the year and the month for the *.SUM and *.SEA files. 
      For the *.CTD files, the characters SU are followed by the unique station 
      number and the cast number given by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
      
      In "SU9202.SUM", we leave some position column blank (when bucket was used)
      because not recorded.
      
      In "SU9202.SEA", we leave "sample number (SAMPNO)" column of the surface layer 
      blank, because of using bucket.
      
      All water sample quality flags during this cruise were "3" (or "4", "5", "9"), 
      because no estimation of accuracy and precision has been made.
      
      In "SU????_?.CTD", we give the value -9 to "NUMBER OBS.", because we lost the 
      CTD raw data and data number of the observation stations when the earthquake 
      occurred in Kobe, Japan, on January 17, 1995.

                time and repeat cruises conducted by the Japan Meteorological Agency's 
                vessels agreed to change most of the data status to public.
                
      08/15/00  Bartolacci      CTD/BTL/SUM    Data Reformatted, encrypted files taken offline
                Email sent by Masaro Saiki to release these data into the public 
                domain.  Encrypted files were moved to original directory.  
                  Note:  Encrypted files contain original unformatted data.  
                         Unencrypted copies were then edited to conform to WOCE 
                         format as follows:
                
                SUM:  removed hard carriage returns.
                      Added dashed header line below units.
                      Removed leading spaces before expocode.
                      Aligned *all* columns to conform with WOCE format.
                      Capitalized all headers. 
                      Added date/name stamp.
                      Changed expocode from 49SU9202/4 to 49SU9202_4.
                      Ran sumchk:  warnings pertain to missing lat/lon for 
                      following stations/ station combinations:
                        SU4617       2
                        SU4618       1, 2
                        SU4619       1, 2
                        SU4620       1, 2
                        SU4622       1, 2
                      
                      NOTE:  A copy of the formatted sumfile was edited to fill in 
                      missing cast code lats/lons.  Because lat/lons were sporatically
                      missing from all BE, BO, EN cast codes, lat/lons were copied 
                      from BE or EN to BO when needed to make one complete set of 
                      cast codes for a navigation file.  The station track was 
                      generated from this edited sumfile.  This copy resides in the 
                      original directory and is called pr17sum_for_nav.txt.
                      
                HYD:  removed hard carriage returns.
                      Changed expocode from 49SU9202/4 to 49SU9202_4.
                      Added leading zero to decimal values CTDPRS for
                      the following station/cast/samps:

                        SU4618       3      20

                      Moved asterisks from bottle number column to sample number
                      column, since no bottle numbers were given, yet a quality
                      flag was designated.  Since sample numbers were supplied
                      the asterisks were moved to the top of this column.
                      
                      BTLNBR column is empty.  No values or missing data values.
                      CTDRAW column is also entirely empty (no missing data value)
