      A.2.  Cruise Summary
      
      Cruise track
      
      The cruise track included WHP stations beginning on the continental shelf of the 
      Antarctic Peninsula at 67 28S 71 5W on 22 February, 1992, continuing west 
      along ca. 67S (S4 Pacific) at nominally 30 nautical mile intervals.  The first 
      ten stations were made along a northwesterly line approximately perpendicular to 
      the continental slope with stations over the shelf break and slope located on 
      isobaths separated by approximately 800 m.  Over the Bellingshausen Abyssal 
      Plain between 9134W and 13041W and over the Amundsen Abyssal Plain between 
      14211W and 15741W, the station spacing was increased to nominally 40 nautical 
      miles.  At 17415E, the track was turned southwestward to run perpendicular to 
      the Antarctic continental shelf.  The section was completed with a station in 
      200 m of water off Cap Daemon at 7039S 16804E.  The section was restarted with 
      a repeat station at 67S 17415E and continued east-northeast to end in 400 m of 
      water off Young Island of the Balleny Islands at 6625S 16241E.  The last 
      station will be the eastern terminus for the continuation of WHP line S4 into 
      the Indian Ocean.  
      
      Stations occupied
      
      There were 113 CTD/rosette stations, in all but one case each close to the 
      bottom.  No large volume casts were made.  There were 3 surface samples for Ge 
      isotopes and one complete profile with 24 samples.
      
      Floats and drifters deployed
           No floats nor surface drifters were deployed.
      
      Moorings deployed or recovered
           No moorings were deployed or recovered.

      A.4.  Scientific Program
      
      a. Narrative
      
      The R/V Akademik Ioffe Cruise 6 (WHP line S4 Pacific) left Montevideo, 
      Uruguay on 14 February, 1992 and ended in Wellington, New Zealand on 6 April, 
      1992.  The chief Scientists were Mikhail H. Koshlyakov (Shirshov Institute of 
      Oceanology) and James G. Richman (Oregon State University).  The purpose of 
      this cruise was to determine the strength and extent of the cyclonic 
      circulation in the Pacific Ocean south of the Polar Front as part of the WOCE 
      Hydrographic Program.
      
      The R/V Akademik Ioffe departed Montevideo at 2130 on 14 February 1992, 
      and headed for deep water in the South Atlantic.  On the morning of 17 
      February, the vessel stopped for training and station tests.  No reportable 
      data were collected.  WHP stations began on the continental shelf of the 
      Antarctic Peninsula 6728.1S 7005.4W on 22 February (station 682).  The 
      first six stations were over the continental shelf and slope along a 
      northwesterly line.  The stations over the slope were made on isobaths 
      separated by approximately 800 m.  Two more stations were made in deep water 
      along this line and then the track was turned southwestward.  Five stations 
      were made along the southwesterly track until 67S was reached.  The section 
      was then continued along 67S at nominally 30 nautical mile spacing.  Over the 
      Bellingshausen Abyssal Plain between 9134W and 13041W and over the Amundsen 
      Abyssal Plain between 14211W and 15741W, the station spacing was increased 
      to nominally 40 nautical miles.  At 17415E (station 768), the track was 
      turned southwestward to run perpendicular to the Antarctic continental shelf.  
      The section was completed with a station in 200 m of water off Cap Daemon at 
      7039S 16804E on 23 March (station 780).  The section was restarted with a 
      repeat station at 67S 17415E on 25 March and continued east-northeast to end 
      in 400 m of water off Young Island of the Balleny Islands at 6625S 16241E 
      on 29 March (station 794).  The last station will be the eastern terminus for 
      the continuation of WHP line S4 into the Indian Ocean.
      
      The principal sampling program consisted of full-depth CTD/O profiles 
      with a maximum of 24 small-volume water samples per cast.  Water samples were 
      collected for salinity, dissolved oxygen, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, 
      nitrite, CFC-11, and CFC-12 at all stations, and for 3He, tritium, AMS 14C, 
      CFC-113, 18O, and CO2 system parameters at selected stations.
      
      Rosette water samples were collected by the Scripps Oceanographic Data 
      Facility (ODF) from Niskin and ODF-constructed 10-liter sample bottles mounted 
      on an ODF-constructed 24-bottle rosette sampler which used General Oceanics 24-
      place pylon.  The rosette was equipped with ODF-modified NBIS Mark IIIb CTDs 
      for in-situ measurement of conductivity, temperature, pressure, and dissolved 
      oxygen.  A transmissometer belonging to Dr. Wilf Gardner, TAMU, was installed 
      on the rosette and used at several stations.  A short-range (ca. 100 meter) 
      altimeter was mounted on the rosette frame and its data fed into the CTD data 
      stream.  A pinger on the rosette frame gave height above bottom (via a PDR in 
      the CTD console area) throughout the water column.  In every case the bottles 
      were closed at selected depths during the up cast, after the winch had stopped 
      at that depth.  There were 113 CTD/rosette stations, in all but one case each 
      close to the bottom.  
      
      Two PRTs were used on most stations for temperature measurements.  No 
      reversing thermometers were used during the cruise.  Conductivities were 
      measured using ODF Autosal salinometer with an automated logging program.  
      Oxygen samples were run using a Dosimat/UV automatic titration system.  
      Nutrients were run with a Technicon AAII system.
      
      While on station and underway a shipboard 75 kHz RDI ADCP system was 
      operated.  Underway surface measurements were also obtained: temperature, 
      salinity, fluorescence and pCO2.  A multi-beam sonar system was operated 
      between stations  Routine weather observations were collected at ten minute 
      intervals by the ship's automated meteorological station with visual 
      observations every four hours by the ship's officers.
      
      Along the section, the weather and sea conditions were moderate to very 
      rough.  The winds were generally 10-15 m/sec, with five days approaching or 
      exceeding 20 m/sec.  Icebergs were present during the entire section which 
      necessitated slowing at night and some extra maneuvering before starting 
      sections.  The air temperature averaged slightly below freezing.  Near 
      Antarctica, at the end of the section, cold air and wind created problems with 
      freezing in the bottle spigots (stations 773 and 778), but only three salinity 
      samples were lost.  No trouble with pack ice occurred during the section.  The 
      weather was extremely poor in the vicinity of the the Antarctic Circumpolar 
      Current between the continent and New Zealand which prevented any work on the 
      northward run after the completion of the main zonal section.

      distributions for small volume samples are shown in Figures 2 and 3.

      A.5.  Problems
      
      This cruise had few problems.  The CTD operations were made from the 
      stern A-frame.  There were numerous cable problems, kinking and unlaying, 
      associated with the pitching in rough weather conditions when the winds 
      exceeded 15 m/sec or large swells were encountered.  Many mire reterminations 
      were made during the cruise.  However, little data was lost from these 
      problems.  One station, 701, was terminated early on 27 February at 3700 m in 
      4340m of water during bad weather and excessive ship motion.  The rosette hit 
      the ship during recovery stations 705 and 763.  The CTD signal was lost at 3650 
      dbars on station 702 and the cast was aborted.  However, the signal returned as 
      the CTD was being raised and the cast was restarted in the water at 3100 
      dbars.  The CTD signal was lost on the upcast at 4337 dbars on station 709.  The 
      bottles were tripped based upon wire out for this station.  The same CTD was 
      used for the entire cruise.  The CTD Sampler Controller and Data Logger was 
      tested from station 781 through station 794.  Using the controller, bottles 
      were tripped at preset depths and the CTD data recorded internally.  The casts 
      were monitored and data recorded with normal CTD computer. 
      
      An oxygen sensor was used with the CTD.  Problems with the sensor and 
      its spare were encountered at the start of the section.  The data are suspect 
      for the first 11 stations (682-692).  The sensor failed on station 773.  No 
      oxygen sensor was available for stations 773 through 782.
      
      The transmissometers had inside lens fogging and temperature 
      compensation problems.  Many casts had no transmissometer mounted and the data 
      are suspect for the stations where one was used.
      
      South of the Polar Front, the acoustic backscatter sound levels for the 
      75 kHz ADCP were extremely low.  The data from the upper 200 m appear to be 
      contaminated by transducer ringing.  The overall quality of the ADCP velocity 
      data is poor.

      1.  Introduction

           In this document we discuss CTDO data acquisition, calibration,
      corrections, and other processing for the IOFFE6 cruise on the R/V
      Akademik Ioffe.  The final reported values were determined via careful
      examination and application of the pre- and post-cruise calibrations,
      and by comparison of CTD data with the water sample data collected
      during the CTD casts.  Our techniques and calibration data are
      discussed below.

      2.  CTD Acquisition and Processing Summary

           113 CTD casts plus 4 test casts were completed during IOFFE6.
      The rosette used was an ODF-designed 24-bottle system with a 24-place
      General Oceanics pylon nested inside a ring of twenty-four 10-liter
      bottles.  A CTD, altimeter, pinger, and transmissometer were mounted
      on the bottom of the frame.  ODF CTD #1 (a modified NBIS Mark III-B
      instrument) was used during the leg.

           The ODF CTD acquired data at a maximum rate of 25 Hz.  The data
      consisted of pressure, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen,
      second temperature, four CTD voltages, trip confirmation,
      transmissometer, altimeter and elapsed time.  Power to the CTD was
      optimized by applying the minimum current to attain the CTD voltages
      required to maintain sensor stability.  These voltages were monitored
      throughout the cast.

           An ODF-designed deck unit demodulated the FSK CTD signal to an
      RS-232 interface.  The raw CTD data server allowed the data to be
      split into three different paths: to be logged in raw digitized form,
      to be monitored in real time as raw data, and to be processed and
      plotted.  During the IOFFE6 expedition, an Integrated Solutions Inc.
      (ISI) Optimum V computer served as the real-time data acquisition
      processor.  Additionally, Sun SPARC computers were used during post-
      cruise processing.

           The raw CTD audio signal was recorded on VHS videotape as an
      ultimate back-up, and all raw binary data were logged on a hard disk
      and then backed up to magnetic cartridge tape.  In addition, all
      intermediate versions of processed data were backed up to magnetic
      cartridge tape.

           CTD data processing consists of a sequence of steps which is
      modified as needed.  Data can be re-processed from any point in this
      sequence after the raw data are acquired from the sea cable and
      recorded on videotape and/or hard disk.  Each CTD cast is assigned a
      correction file, and while the corrections are usually determined for
      groups of stations, it is possible to fine tune the parameters for
      even a single station.  The acquisition and processing steps are as
      follows:

          Data are acquired from the CTD sea cable and assembled into
           consecutive .04-second frames containing all data channels.  The
           data are converted to engineering units.

          The raw pressure, temperature and conductivity  data  are  passed
           through  broad  absolute  value and gradient filters to eliminate
           noisy data.  The entire frame of raw data is omitted, as  opposed
           to interpolating bad points, if any one of the filters is exceed-
           ed.  The filters may be adjusted as needed for each cast.

                            TYPICAL IOFFE6 RAW DATA FILTERS

                  Raw Data     |         |         | Frame-to-Frame
                  Channel      | Minimum | Maximum |    Gradient   
                  -------------+---------+---------+---------------
                  Pressure     |   -40   |  6400   |    2.0 dbar   
                  -------------+---------+---------+---------------
                  Temperature  |   -8    |  32.7   |    .2 deg.C   
                  -------------+---------+---------+---------------
                  Conductivity |    0    | 64.355  |    .3 mmho    


          Pressure and conductivity are phase-adjusted to match the
           temperature response, since the temperature sensor responds more
           slowly to change.  This lag time is determined using raw CTD data
           from the cruise.  Conductivity data are corrected for ceramic
           compressibility in accordance with the NBIS Mark III-B Reference
           Manual.

          The data are averaged into 0.5-second blocks.  During this step,
           data falling outside four standard deviations from the mean are
           rejected and the average is recalculated.  Then data falling
           outside two standard deviations from the new mean are rejected,
           and the data are re-averaged.  The resulting averages, excepting
           second temperature and CTD voltages, are reported as the
           0.5-second time series.  Secondary temperature data are used to
           verify the stability of the primary temperature channel
           calibration.  Secondary temperature data are only filtered,
           averaged and reported with the time-series data when they are
           used in place of the primary temperature data due to a sensor
           malfunction.

          Corrections are applied to the data.  The pressure data are
           corrected using laboratory calibration data.  Temperature
           corrections, typically a quadratic correction as a function of
           temperature, are based on laboratory calibrations.  Conductivity
           and oxygen corrections are derived from water sample data.
           Conductivity corrections are typically a linear fit of bottle
           minus CTD differences as a function of conductivity.  Oxygen data
           are corrected on an individual cast basis.  Uncorrected time-series
           transmissometer data are forwarded to TAMU for final processing
           and reporting.

           The averaged data are recorded on hard disk and sent to the real-
      time display system, where the averaged data can be reported and
      plotted during a cast.  The averaging system also communicates with
      the CTD acquisition computer for detection of bottle trips, almost
      always occurring during the up casts.  A 3- to 4-second average of the
      CTD data is stored for each detected bottle trip.

           A down-cast pressure-series data set is created from the time
      series by applying a ship-roll filter to the down-cast time-series
      data, then averaging the data within 2-dbar pressure intervals
      centered on the reported pressure.  The first few seconds of data for
      each cast are generally excluded from the averages due to sensor
      adjustment or bubbles during the in-water transition.  Pressure
      intervals with no time-series data can optionally be filled by double-
      parabolic interpolation.  When the down-cast CTD data have excessive
      noise, gaps or offsets, the up-cast data are used instead.  CTD data
      from down and up casts are not mixed together in the pressure-series
      data because they do not represent identical water columns (due to
      ship movement, wire angles, etc.).

           The CTD time series is always the primary CTD data record for the
      pressure, conductivity and temperature channels.   The  final  correc-
      tions  to  the  CTD oxygen data are made by correcting pressure-series
      CTD oxygen data to match the up-cast oxygen water  samples  at  common
      isopycnals.  The final CTDO pressure-series data are the data reported
      to the principal investigator and to the WHP Office.

           Subsequent sections of this document discuss the laboratory
      calibrations, data processing and corrections for the CTD used during
      IOFFE6.

      3.  CTD Laboratory Calibrations

      3.1.  Pressure Transducer Calibration

           The CTD pressure transducer was calibrated in a temperature-
      controlled bath to the ODF Ruska deadweight-tester (DWT) pressure
      standards.  The mechanical hysteresis loading and unloading curves
      were measured both pre- and post-cruise at cold temperature (-1.5
      degrees C bath) to a maximum of 8830 psi, and at warmer temperature
      (15.2 and 6.1 degrees C baths pre-/post-cruise) to a maximum of 2030
      psi.  The post-cruise deep 8830 psi calibration was done a total of 3
      times (in -1.5, -1.4, and -0.7 degrees C baths).

           CTD pre- and post-cruise pressure calibrations are summarized in
      Figure 1.

      3.2.  PRT Temperature Calibration

           All CTD PRT temperature transducers were calibrated in a
      temperature-controlled bath.  CTD temperatures were compared with
      temperatures calculated from the resistance of a standard platinum
      resistance thermometer (SPRT) as measured by a NBIS ATB-1250
      resistance bridge.  The ultimate temperature standards at ODF are
      water and diphenyl ether triple-point cells and a gallium cell.  Seven
      or more calibration temperatures, spaced across the range of -2.0 to
      20.0 degrees C, were measured both pre- and post-cruise.

           CTD pre- and post-cruise temperature calibrations are summarized
      in Figures 2 and 3.  It should be noted that ODF CTD PRT temperature
      transducers are offset approximately +1.5 degrees C in order to avoid
      a temperature response discontinuity that occurs at 0 degrees C; this
      offset is taken into account when correcting the data.


      4.  CTD Data Processing

      4.1.  Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity/Salinity, and Oxygen
      Corrections

           A maximum of 24 salinity and oxygen check samples were collected
      during each CTD cast.  No thermometric pressure or temperature data
      were collected during this cruise.

           A 3- to 4-second average of the CTD time-series data was
      calculated for each sample.  The resulting data were then used to
      derive CTD conductivity/salinity and oxygen corrections.  The severe
      weather conditions encountered during this cruise dictated that
      shallow bottle stops (in the top 125 meters or so) be very short or
      omitted altogether, thus leading to smeared bottle-trip data for
      shallow bottles.  Typically the winch does not move during a trip.


      4.1.1.  CTD Pressure Corrections

      4.1.1.1.  CTD #1

           CTD #1 pre- and post-cruise pressure calibrations, Figures 1a and
      1b were compared.  The warm/shallow and cold/deep calibration curves
      both shifted by about 1 to 1.5 decibars from pre- to post-cruise.  The
      slopes of the warm/shallow pressure calibration curves were nearly
      identical.  The slopes of the cold/deep curves were slightly
      different:  shallower points were nearly identical and the deepest
      points from the two calibrations were about 1.5 decibars apart.
      Thermometric pressures were not measured during the leg.

           The pre-cruise pressure calibration was left in place for the
      pressure data since the pre- and post-cruise pressure calibrations had
      slope differences well within the sensor accuracy.  Any residual
      offset was compensated for automatically at each station: as the CTD
      enters the water, the corrected pressure is adjusted to 0 decibars.

      4.1.2.  CTD Temperature Corrections

      4.1.2.1.  CTD #1

           CTD #1 had two temperature sensors: both PRT-1 and PRT-2 were
      calibrated pre- and post-cruise. PRT-1 was the main temperature sensor
      and was used exclusively in all data processing.  PRT-2 was used to
      check for PRT-1 drift during the cruise.  A comparison of the pre- and
      post-cruise laboratory CTD #1 PRT-1 temperature transducer
      calibrations, Figures 2a and 2b, showed two curves with nearly
      identical slopes and a -.0008 degrees C temperature shift in the range
      of -1 to 7 degrees C.  For PRT-2, the secondary sensor, a comparison
      of the two calibrations, Figures 3a and 3b, also showed curves with
      nearly identical slopes and a +.0006 degrees C temperature shift in
      the range of -1 to 6 degrees C.  The pre-cruise PRT-1 temperature
      calibration, Figure 2a, remained in effect for the CTD data since any
      differences between pre- and post-cruise temperature calibrations were
      negligible and well within the sensor accuracy.

           No thermometric temperatures were measured during this cruise.
      The PRT-1 minus PRT-2 differences were monitored during the cruise to
      check for possible temperature shifts.  None were detected, and as
      expected, the pre- and post-cruise PRT-1 minus PRT-2 differences were
      consistent.

      4.1.3.  CTD Conductivity Corrections

           In order to calibrate CTD conductivity, check-sample
      conductivities were calculated from the bottle salinities using CTD
      pressures and temperatures.  For each cast, the differences between
      sample and CTD conductivities at all pressures were fit to CTD
      conductivity using a linear least-squares fit.  Values greater than 2
      standard deviations from the fits were rejected.  The resulting
      conductivity correction slopes were plotted as a function of station
      number.  The conductivity slopes were then fit as a function of
      station number to generate smoothed slopes.  These smoothed slopes
      were an average of the slopes for the cruise (0-order).  Since the
      range of conductivities in this part of the ocean is very narrow, the
      conductivity slope correction does not have a great effect on the
      data.

           Conductivity differences were then calculated for each cast after
      applying the preliminary conductivity slope corrections.  Residual
      conductivity offsets were computed for each cast and fit to station
      number.  Smoothed offsets were determined by groups, based on common
      conditions (i.e. such factors as pre- and post-conductivity-sensor
      cleaning).  The resulting smoothed offsets were then applied to the
      data.  Then conductivity slope as a function of conductivity was re-
      checked: no changes were warranted.

           Some offsets were manually adjusted to account for discontinuous
      shifts in the conductivity transducer response, or to insure a
      consistent deep T-S relationship from station to station.

           Station 711 was the only station showing any discontinuity with
      surrounding stations in the conductivity transducer response, and it
      was adjusted to match its own bottle salinities, which also matched
      the deep Theta-S data of surrounding stations.  This cast exhibited
      strange results which were noted at sea during the cast.  The top 340
      decibars of this cast are offset, but it was impossible to use the
      upcast due to multiple offsets.  Probably this entire cast is still
      suspect.  We are surmising that the sensor became coated with
      protoplasmic slime early in the cast, some of which came off around
      340 decibars, and which kept gradually washing off during the down and
      up casts.

           Plots of the final conductivity slopes and offsets can be found
      in Figures 4 and 5.

      4.1.3.1.  Bottle vs. CTD Conductivity Statistical Summary

           The IOFFE6 calibrated bottle-minus-CTD conductivity statistics
      include bottle salinity values with quality 3 or 4.  There is approxi-
      mately a 1:1 correspondence between conductivity and salinity residual
      differences.  The following statistical results were generated from
      the final bottle data set and the final corrected CTD data:

      4.2.  CTD Dissolved Oxygen Data

      4.2.1.  CTD Oxygen Corrections

           Dissolved oxygen data were acquired using Sensormedics dissolved
      oxygen sensors.  The ocean area in which this cruise occurred provided
      harsh conditions for CTD oxygen sensors, especially the freezing
      temperatures.  Due to the severe conditions, only the larger features
      in the CTD oxygen profiles should be considered realistic.  Many
      profiles are very noisy and/or have extraneous oscillations.

           CTD oxygen data are corrected after pressure, temperature and
      conductivity corrections have been determined.  CTD raw oxygen
      currents were extracted from the pressure-series data at isopycnals
      corresponding to the up-cast check samples.  Most pressure-series data
      were from the down casts, where oxygen data are usually smoother than
      up-cast data because of the more constant lowering rate, avoiding the
      flow-dependence problems occurring at up-cast bottle stops.  However,
      the IOFFE6 CTD oxygen data were affected with flow-dependence
      problems, down or up cast, each time a cast was stopped.  There can
      also be flow-dependence problems if a cast is slowed down, as often
      happens during bottom approaches.

           The CTD oxygen correction coefficients were determined by
      applying a modified Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least squares
      fitting procedure to residual differences between CTD and bottle
      oxygen values.  Bottle oxygen values were weighted as required to
      optimize the fitting of CTD oxygen to discrete bottle samples.  Some
      bottle levels were omitted from a fit because of large pressure
      differences between down- and up-cast CTD data at isopycnals.  Deep
      data points were often weighted more heavily than shallower data due
      to the higher density of shallow sampling on a typical 24-bottle
      sampling scheme.

           The IOFFE6 surface oxygen data fitting was adversely affected by
      the extreme cold conditions.  Freezing sensors, combined with the
      typical going-in-water bubbles/noise, made it difficult to fit CTD
      oxygens to the bottle data in the surface mixed layer of many casts.
      The value of data above the second check sample should be very
      carefully considered.  Sometimes, due to freezing of the oxygen
      sensor, the CTD oxygen data may be suspect for as much as the top 100
      decibars.  Any station where questionable data goes deeper than about
      10 decibars is noted in the "CTD Shipboard and Processing Comments" in
      Appendix D.

                                                         S04P  ODF CTD Data Report  1992  R/V Akademik Ioffe


      4.2.2.  Bottle vs. CTD Oxygen Statistical Summary

           The CTD oxygens are generated by fitting up cast oxygen bottle
      data to down cast CTD raw oxygen (amps) measurements along isopycnals.
      Residual oxygen differences are not generated from these comparisons,
      so no comparison statistics are shown in this report.

      4.3.  Additional Processing

           A software filter was used on 35 casts to remove conductivity or
      temperature spiking problems in about .066% of the time-series data
      frames.  Pressure did not require filtering.

           Oxygen spikes were filtered out of 6 casts.  The filtered oxygen
      levels affected approximately .008% of the time-series data frames.
      58.3% of the filtered oxygen data were shallower than 100 dbars and
      could possibly be directly related to bubbles trapped during the
      going-in-water transition or freezing of the sensor.

           The remaining density inversions in high-gradient regions cannot
      be accounted for by a mis-match of pressure, temperature and
      conductivity sensor response.  Detailed examination of the raw data
      shows significant mixing occurring in these areas because of ship
      roll.  The ship-roll filter resulted in a reduction in the amount and
      size of density inversions.

           After filtering, the down cast (or up cast - see table below)
      portion of each time-series was pressure-sequenced into 2-decibar
      pressure intervals.  A ship-roll filter was applied to each cast
      during pressure sequencing to disallow pressure reversals.

      5.  General Comments/Problems

           There is one pressure-sequenced CTD data set, to near the ocean
      floor, for each of 113 casts at 112 station locations.  There was a
      reoccupation of station 768 (as station 781).  There was additionally
      a 3-cast shakedown station, a freon bottle check station, plus one
      cast aborted to avoid an iceberg; these were neither processed nor
      reported.  Another CTD cast was done after the aborted cast at the
      same location.

           The data reported is from down casts, excepting the stations
      listed below:


                      UP-CAST PRESSURE-SERIES DATA REPORTED

                    Station(s) | Problem with Down Cast Data

                               | up. Went back down (called 
                               | cast 2) to get a complete  
                               | upcast and trip bottles.   
                               | Only complete cast is cast 
                               | 2 (upcast).                


                                                         S04P  ODF CTD Data Report  1992  R/V Akademik Ioffe


           The top level(s) (0 or 0-2 decibar(s) usually, but up to 16
      decibars for a few stations with serious freezing problems) of some
      casts were extrapolated using a quadratic fit through the next three
      deeper levels.  Recorded surface values were rejected only when it
      appeared that the drift was caused by sensors adjusting to the in-
      water transition or freezing/thawing; if there was any question that
      the that the surface values might be real, the original data were
      reported.  Extrapolated surface levels are identified by a count of
      "1" in the "Number of Raw Frames in Average" reported with each data
      record in the files.  The pressures for these extrapolated data
      frames, as well as other cast-by-cast shipboard or processing
      comments, are listed in the "CTD Shipboard and Processing Comments" in
      Appendix D.

           Harsh weather during this cruise combined with working off the
      stern of the ship led to numerous wire problems.  These resulted in
      many stops, pauses, or yoyos during casts, the most severe of which
      are documented in Appendix D.

           In addition, missing data values, such as CTD oxygens in casts
      where the sensor failed or was not present on the rosette package, are
      represented as "-9" in the data files.  There are 20 such casts in
      this data set:

         687/02,688/01,689/01,690/01,692/01,719/01,720/01,721/01,723/01,
         724/01,773/01,774/01,775/01,776/01,777/01,778/01,779/01,780/01,
         781/01 and 782/01.

      There were 35 casts where the oxygen signal seemed to fail only during
      the top 80 or so decibars (probably due to extreme cold and/or sensor
      freezing); these are not reported as "-9", but the affected pressure
      levels are listed in Appendix D for the following stations:

         684,686,696,699,702,703,704,705,708,709,710,711,712,713,714,717,718,
         722,730,733,734,739,740,743,751,752,759,761,768,770,771,772,783,784 
         and 792 (all cast 1).

           The CTD oxygen sensor often requires several seconds in the water
      before being wet enough to respond properly; this is manifested as low
      or high CTD oxygen values at the start of some casts.  Flow-dependence
      problems occur when the lowering rate varies, or when the CTD is
      stopped, as at the cast bottom or bottle trips, where depletion of
      oxygen at the sensor can cause lower oxygen readings.

      744/01     xmiss off-scale & may not be working properly; supposed to be
                 towing cast but slight forward angle as rosette entered water
                 & some slack wire - wire dropped to deck before bridge got
                 ship moving 3-4 min later; recovery ok but large kink/very
                 loose strand approx 10 m from rosette - new end termination;

                 swell but smoother at cast start - some problem with slack
                 wire - towing at 2 knots; when cast up weather better, but 2

               DESCRIPTION OF MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND CALIBRATIONS
      
      ODF CTD/rosette casts were carried out with a 24 bottle rosette sampler of
      ODF manufacture using General Oceanics pylons.  An ODF-modified NBIS Mark 3
      CTD, a Benthos altimeter and a SeaTech transmissometer provided by Texas
      A&M University (TAMU) were mounted on the rosette frame.  Seawater samples
      were collected in 10-liter PVC Niskin and ODF bottles mounted on the
      rosette frame.  A Benthos pinger with a self-contained battery pack was
      mounted separately on the rosette frame; its signal was displayed on the
      precision depth recorder (PDR) in the ship's laboratory.  The rosette/CTD
      was suspended from a three-conductor wire which provided power to the CTD
      and relayed the CTD signal to the laboratory.
      
      Each CTD cast extended to within approximately 10 meters of the bottom
      unless the bottom returns from both the pinger and the altimeter were
      extremely poor.  The bottles were numbered 1 through 24.  When one of these
      24 bottles needed servicing and repairs could not be accomplished by the
      next cast, the replacement bottle was given a new number.  The replacement
      bottles were numbered 25 through 30.  Subsets of CTD data taken at the time
      of water sample collection were transmitted to the bottle data files
      immediately after each cast to provide pressure and temperature at the
      sampling depth, and to facilitate the examination and quality control of
      the bottle data as the laboratory analyses were completed.  The CTD data
      and documentation are submitted separately to the chief scientist.
      
      After each rosette cast was brought on board, water samples were drawn in
      the following order: Freon (CFC-11 and CFC-12), Helium-3, Oxygen, Total
      CO2, Alkalinity, AMS 14C, Tritium, Nutrients (silicate, phosphate, nitrate
      and nitrite), and Salinity.  The samples and the ODF or Niskin sampler they
      were drawn from were recorded on the Sample Log sheet.  Comments regarding
      integrity of the water sample (valve open, lanyard caught in lid, etc.)
      were also noted on the Sample Log sheets.
      
      The discrete hydrographic data were entered into the shipboard data system
      and processed as the analyses were completed.  The bottle data were brought
      to a useable, though not final, state at sea.  ODF data checking procedures
      included verification that the sample was assigned to the correct depth.
      This was accomplished by checking the raw data sheets, which included the
      raw data value and the water sample bottle, versus the sample log sheets.
      Any comments regarding the water samples were investigated.  The raw data
      computer files were also checked for entry errors.  Investigation of data
      included comparison of bottle salinity and oxygen with CTD data, and review
      of data plots of the station profile alone and compared to nearby stations.
      
      If a data value did not either agree satisfactorily with the CTD or with
      other nearby data, then analysis and sampling notes, plots, and nearby data
      were reviewed.  If any problem was indicated, the data value was flagged.
      Appendix C, the Bottle Data Processing Notes, includes comments regarding
      missing samples and investigative remarks for comments made on the Sample
      Log sheets, as well as all flagged (WOCE coded) data values.
      


                                                               S04P  ODF BTL Data Report  1992  R/V Akademik Ioffe


      The WOCE codes were assigned to the water data using the criteria:
      
      code 4 =  Does not fit station profile and/or adjoining station
                comparisons.  There are analytical notes indicating a problem,
                but data values are reported.  ODF recommends deletion of these
                data values.  Analytical notes for salinity and/or oxygen may
                include large differences between the water sample and CTD
                profiles.  Sampling errors are also coded 4.
      
      code 3 =  Does not fit station profile or adjoining station comparisons. No
                notes from analyst indicating a problem.  Datum could be real,
                but the decision as to whether it is acceptable will be made by a
                scientist rather than ODF's technicians.
      
      code 2 =  Acceptable measurement.
      
      code 1 =  Sample for this measurement was drawn from water bottle, but
                results of analysis not received.
      
      The quality flags assigned to the bottle as defined in the WOCE Operations
      manual are further clarified as follows: If the bottle tripped at a
      different level than planned, ODF assigned it a code 4.  If the bottle
      tripped between the scheduled trip and the next trip, as indicated by the
      water sample data, ODF coded these bottles 3.  If there is a 4 code on the
      bottle, and 2 codes on the salinity, oxygen and nutrients then the pressure
      assignment was probably correct.  An air leak is identified by a 3 code on
      the bottle and 4 code on the oxygen.  Air leaks only affect the gas
      samples.
      
      The following table shows the number of ODF samples drawn and the number of
      times each WOCE sample code was assigned.

      Pressure and Temperature
      
      All pressures and temperatures for the bottle data tabulations on the
      rosette casts were obtained by averaging CTD data for a brief interval at
      the time the bottle was closed on the rosette.  All reported CTD data are
      calibrated and processed with the methodology described in the
      documentation accompanying the CTD data submission.
      
      The temperatures are based on the International Temperature Scale of 1990.

      Salinity
      
      The water sample salinities were measured with an ODF-modified Guildline
      Autosal Model 8400A salinometer (Serial Number 57-396) that was
      standardized for each cast with IAPSO Standard Seawater (SSW) Batch P-108.
      Salinity samples were drawn into 200 ml Kimax high alumina borosilicate
      bottles with custom-made plastic insert thimbles and Nalgene screw caps.
      This assembly provides very low container dissolution and sample
      evaporation.  Salinity was determined after sample equilibration to
      laboratory temperature, usually within 8-36 hours of collection.
      Salinometers were located in a temperature-controlled laboratory.  Only one
      salinometer was used for the salinity samples.  This salinometer was
      connected to a computer to automate the data aquisition.
      
      Salinity bottles were rinsed three times before filling.  Salinity has been
      calculated according to the equations of the Practical Salinity Scale of
      1978 (UNESCO, 1981).  This calculation uses the conductivity ratio
      determined from bottle samples analyzed (minimum of two recorded analyses
      per sample bottle after flushing).  The Autosal salinometer was calibrated
      against a single batch of Wormley IAPSO standard seawater, P-108, with at
      least one fresh vial opened per cast.
      
      Accuracy estimates of bottle salinities run at sea are usually better than
      0.002 psu relative to the specified batch of standard.  Although laboratory
      precision of the Autosal can be as small as 0.0002 psu when running
      replicate samples under ideal conditions, at sea the expected precision is
      about 0.001 psu under normal conditions, with a stable lab temperature.
      
      Oxygen
      
      Samples were collected for dissolved oxygen analyses soon after the rosette
      sampler was brought on board and after CFC and helium were drawn.  Nominal
      125 ml volume iodine flasks were rinsed carefully 3 times using sample
      seawater with minimal agitation, then filled via a drawing tube, and
      allowed to overflow for at least 2 flask volumes.  The draw temperature was
      measured and reagents were added to fix the oxygen before stoppering.  The
      flasks were shaken twice; immediately after drawing, and then again after
      20 minutes, to assure thorough dispersion of the Mn(OH)2 precipitate.  The
      samples were analyzed within 4-36 hours of collection.
      
      Dissolved oxygen analyses, reported in micromoles per kilogram, were
      performed via titration in the volume-calibrated iodine flasks with an SIO
      automated oxygen titrator with a Dosimat 665 buret driver fitted with a 1.0
      ml buret, using the whole-bottle Winkler titration following the technique
      of Carpenter (1965) with modifications by Culberson et al.  (1991).
      Standardizations were performed with 0.01N potassium iodate solutions
      prepared from preweighed potassium iodate crystals.  Standards were run at
      the beginning of each session of analyses, which typically included from 1
      to 3 stations.  Several standards were made up and compared to assure that
      the results were reproducible, and to preclude the possibility of a
      weighing error.  A correction was made for the amount of oxygen introduced
      with the reagents.  Combined reagent/distilled water blanks were determined
      to account for oxidizing or reducing materials in the reagents.
      
      The data processor and/or analyst plotted the oxygen standards and blanks
      and reviewed the data for possible problems with standards and/or blanks.
      
      Oxygens were converted from milliliters per liter to micromoles per
      kilogram using the in-situ temperature.  Ideally, for whole-bottle
      titrations, the conversion temperature should be the temperature of the
      water issuing from the Niskin bottle spigot.  The temperature of the
      samples was measured at the time the sample was drawn from the bottle, but
      were not used in the conversion from milliliters per liter to micromoles
      per kilogram because the software is not available.  Aberrant temperatures
      provided an additional flag indicating that a bottle may not have tripped
      properly.  Measured sample temperatures from mid-deep water samples were
      about 4-7 degree C warmer than in-situ temperature.  Had the conversion
      with the measured sample temperature been made, converted oxygen values,
      would be about 0.08% higher for a 6 degree C warming (or about 0.2umol/kg
      for a 250umol/kg sample).

      Nutrients
      
      The nutrient analyses were performed by an analyst from Scripps Institution
      of Oceanography, Shipboard Technical Support/Oceanographic Data Facility
      (STS/ODF).  Nutrients (phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite) analyses,
      reported in micromoles/kilogram, were performed on a modified AutoAnalyzer
      II.  The procedures used are described in Gordon et al.  (1992).
      Standardizations were performed with solutions prepared aboard ship from
      preweighed standards.  These solutions were used as working standards
      before and after each cast (approximately 24 samples) to correct for
      instrumental drift during analyses.  Sets of 4-6 different concentrations
      of shipboard standards were analyzed periodically to determine the
      linearity of colorimeter response and the resulting correction factors.
      Phosphate was analyzed using hydrazine reduction of phosphomolybdic acid as
      described by Bernhardt & Wilhelms (1967).  Silicate was analyzed using
      stannous chloride reduction of silicomolybdic acid.  Nitrite was analyzed
      using diazotization and coupling to form dye; nitrate was reduced by
      copperized cadmium and then analyzed as nitrite.  These three analyses use
      the methods of Armstrong et al.  (1967).
      
      Samples were drawn into 45 ml high density polypropylene, narrow mouth,
      screw-capped centrifuge tubes which were rinsed twice before filling.  Some
      samples may have been refrigerated at 2 to 6 degree C for a maximum of 12
      hours.
      
      Nutrients were converted from micromoles per liter to micromoles per
      kilogram by dividing by sample density calculated at a laboratory
      temperature measured at 25 degree C.
      
      
      DATA COMPARISONS AND COMMENTS
      
      The oxygen and nutrient data were compared by ODF with those from adjacent
      stations.  Dr. James Swift did comparisons with historical data sets.
      
      Data checking procedures included verification of sample depth, accuracy of
      data entry, and data comparisons.  Checking the raw data recordings, which
      included the raw data value and the water sample bottle, versus the sample
      log sheets verified sample trip depths.  The raw data computer files were
      also checked against data sheets and logs for entry errors.  Investigation
      of data included comparison of bottle salinity and oxygen with CTD data,
      and review of data plots of the station profile alone and compared to
      nearby stations.
      
      If a data value did not either agree satisfactorily with the CTD or with
      other nearby data (for example in a plot comparison), analysis and sampling
      notes, plots, and nearby data were reviewed.  If any problem was indicated
      the data value was flagged.  ODF preserved all bottle data values.
      
      Historically, most failures to return a validated water sample can be
      traced to the rosette pylon, with ship's wire and CTD cable end termination
      the next most frequent leading cause.  However, on this expedition the
      pylons and wire worked nearly perfectly, and the leading causes of failure
      to return a reportable water sample were miscellaneous mechanical problems
      with the rosette bottles, i.e., a lanyard hanging up in a lid, open spigot
      and/or vent.

      Remarks for deleted samples, missing samples, and WOCE codes other than 2
      from RUKDIOFFE6/1 WOCE S4P.  Investigation of data may include comparison
      of bottle salinity and oxygen data with CTD data, review of data plots of
      the station profile and adjoining stations, and rereading of charts (i.e.,
      nutrients). Comments from the Sample Logs and the results of ODF's investi-
      gations are included in this report.  Units stated in these comments are 
      milliliters per liter for oxygen and micromoles per liter for Silicate,
      Nitrate, and Phosphate, unless otherwise noted.  The first number before
      the comment is the cast number (CASTNO) times 100 plus the bottle number
      (BTLNBR).

      1.0 General Information
      
      WOCE cruise S4P was carried out aboard the R/V Akademik Ioffe in the southern 
      Pacific Ocean. The WHPO designation for this cruise was 90KDIOFFE6/1. Mikhail H. 
      Koshlyakov (Shirshov Inst.) and James G. Richman (OSU) were the chief 
      scientists. The cruise track included WHP stations beginning on the continental 
      shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula at 67 28S 71 5W on February 22, 1992, 
      continuing west along ca. 67S at nominally 30 nautical mile intervals. The first 
      ten stations were made along a northwesterly line approximately perpendicular to 
      the continental slope with stations over the shelf break and slope located on 
      isobaths separated by approximately 800 m. Over the Bellingshausen Abyssal 
      Plain between 91 34W and 130 41W and over the Amundsen Abyssal Plain between 142 
      11W and 157 41W, the station spacing was increased to nominally 40 nautical 
      miles. At 174 15E, the track turned southwestward to run perpendicular to the 
      Antarctic continental shelf. The section was completed with a station in 200 m 
      of water off Cap Daemon at 70 39S 168 04E. The section was restarted with a 
      repeat station at 67 S 174 15E and continued east-northeast to end in 400 m of 
      water off Young Island of the Balleny Islands at 66 25 S 162 41E. The reader is 
      referred to cruise documentation provided by the chief scientists as the primary 
      source for cruise information. This report covers details of the small volume 
      radiocarbon samples. The AMS station locations are shown in Figure 1 and summa-
      rized in Table 1. A total of 594 DEL14C samples were collected at 30 stations.

      2.0 Personnel
      
      14 C sampling for this cruise was carried out by Jordan Clark (now at UCSB) and 
      Dorothea Bauch (now at GEOMAR in Germany). 14 C (and accompanying 13 C) analyses 
      were performed at the National Ocean Sciences AMS Facility (NOSAMS) at Woods 
      Hole Oceanographic Institution. R. Key collected the data from the originators, 
      merged the files, assigned quality control flags to the 14 C and submitted the 
      data files to the WOCE office (1/99). Peter Schlosser (LDEO) is P.I. for the 14 
      C data and NOSAMS for the 13 C data.
      
      
      3.0 Results
      
      This 14 C data set and any changes or additions supersedes any prior release.
      
      3.1 Hydrography
      
      Hydrography from this leg has been submitted to the WOCE office by the chief 
      scientist and described in the hydrographic report.
      
      3.2 14 C
      
      The DEL14C values reported here were originally distributed in a NOSAMS data 
      report (NOSAMS, 1998), September 16, 1998. That reports included preliminary 
      results which had not been through the WOCE quality control procedures. This 
      report supersedes that data distribution. All of the AMS samples from this 
      cruise have been measured. Replicate measurements were made on 34 water samples. 
      These replicate analyses are tabulated in Table 2.

      The table shows the error weighted mean and uncertainty for each set of 
      replicates. Uncertainty is defined here as the larger of the standard deviation 
      and the error weighted standard deviation of the mean. For these replicates, the 
      simple average of the normal standard deviations for the replicates is 2.8. 
      This precision estimate is a bit lower than the average error for the time frame 
      over which these samples were measured (Aug. 1996 - Apr. 1998) and a bit lower 
      than the overall mean error for Pacific WOCE samples (Elder, et. al., 1998). 
      Note that the errors given for individual measurements in the final data report 
      (with the exception of the replicates) include only counting errors, and errors 
      due to blanks and backgrounds. The uncertainty obtained for replicate analyses 
      is generally a better estimate of the true error since it includes errors due to 
      sample collection, sample degassing, etc. Close examination of the data along 
      67S in the deep water indicates that 3-4 may be a more realistic of the true 
      error associated with this data set.
      
      
      4.0 Quality Control Flag Assignment
      
      Quality flag values were assigned to all DEL14C measurements using the code 
      defined in Table 0.2 of WHP Office Report WHPO 91-1 Rev. 2 section 4.5.2. 
      (Joyce, et al., 1994). Measurement flags values of 2, 3, and 6 have been 
      assigned. The choice between values 2 (good) and 3 (questionable) involves some 
      interpretation. There is little overlap between this data set and any existing 
      14 C data, so that type of comparison was difficult. In general the lack of 
      other data for comparison led to a more lenient grading on the 14 C data. 
      
      When using this data set for scientific application, any 14 C datum which is 
      flagged with a "3" should be carefully considered. When flagging 14 C data, the 
      measurement error was taken into consideration. That is, approximately one-third 
      of the 14 C measurements are expected to deviate from the true value by more 
      than the measurement precision. No measured values have been removed from this 
      data set. Table 3 summarizes the quality control flags assigned to this data 
      set. For a detailed description of the flagging procedure see Key, et al. 
      (1996).

      5.0 Data Summary
      
      Figures 2-6 summarize the DEL14C data collected on this leg. Only DEL14C 
      measurements with a quality flag value of 2 ("good") or 6 ("replicate") are 
      included in each figure. Figure 2 shows the delta 14 C values with 2 error bars 
      plotted as a function of pressure. The mid depth delta 14 C minimum which 
      normally occurs around 2500 meters in most of the Pacific is absent in this 
      section. In fact, there is very little variation in the deep and bottom water. 
      All of the samples for the entire cruise collected at a depth greater than 1000 
      meters have a mean DEL14C = -156.08.5 with a substantial fraction of this 
      variance due to the samples collected very near the Antarctic slope. Figure 3 
      shows the DEL14C values plotted against silicate. The straight line shown in the 
      figure is the least squares regression relationship derived by Broecker et al. 
      (1995) based on the GEOSECS global data set. According to their analysis, this 
      line (14 C = -70 - Si) represents the relationship between naturally occurring 
      radiocarbon and silicate for most of the ocean. They interpret deviations in 
      DEL14C above this line to be due to input of bomb-produced radiocarbon, however, 
      they note that the technique can not be applied at high latitudes as confirmed 
      by this data set. With the exception of the very near surface waters, this 
      region of the Pacific shows no change since GEO-SECS which strongly implies that 
      the data in Figure 3 indicates a failure of the technique in this area rather 
      than bomb-produced contamination throughout the water column.
      
      Figure 4 shows all of the S4P radiocarbon values plotted against potential 
      alkalinity normalized to a salinity of 35 (defined as [alkalinity + 
      nitrate]*35/salinity). The straight line is the regression fit ( 14 C = -68 -
      (PALK_35 - 2320) derived by S. Rubin (LDEO) to all of the GEOSECS results for 
      waters which were assumed to have no bomb-produced 14 C (depths greater than 
      1000 meters, but including high latitude samples). Preliminary investigation 
      indicates that this new method for separating bomb-produced and natural 14 C 
      works in high latitude waters. For this data set it appears that the regression 
      intercept derived from the GEOSECS data may be a bit too low. Regardless, if the 
      function is valid, then for these data, waters which have alkalinity values less 
      than ~2395 mole/kg have a significant amount of bomb-produced radiocarbon. If 
      this is true, and if the values have changed little since GEOSECS, then most of 
      the bomb contamination had to have been distributed throughout most of the water 
      column even as early as the mid 1970's.
      
      Figure 5 shows the main cruise section along ~67S and Figure 6 shows a contoured 
      section of the DEL14C distribution along the portion of the cruise track along 
      ~170E. Note that the color scale used in the two figures is different. The data 
      were gridded using the "loess" methods described in Chambers et al. (1983), 
      Chambers and Hastie (1991), Cleveland (1979) and Cleveland and Devlin (1988). 
      In Figure 5 the variability in values from depths greater than 500 meters is 
      essentially the same as the measurement error. The 170E section clearly shows 
      penetration of bomb radiocarbon along the Antarctic continental slope. No other 
      WOCE section yet measured shows DEL14C values as high as -140 in Southern Ocean 
      bottom water. The source of this "new" bottom water appears to be somewhere 
      along the shelf in the Ross Sea as indicated by FIGURE7 which shows the near 
      bottom 14 C for stations where the water depth is at least 3500m. In this rather 
      crude map the heavy line is continental outline and the lighter line the 3500m 
      bathymetry. The data for this figure were gridded using the objective analysis 
      technique described by Sarmiento, et al. (1982).

                                      WHPO Summary
      
      Several data files are associated with this report.  They are the s4.sum,  
      s4.hyd, s4.csl and *.wct files.  The s4.sum file contains a summary of the 
      location, time, type of parameters sampled, and other pertinent information 
      regarding each hydrographic station.  The s4.hyd file contains the bottle data. 
      The *.wct files are the ctd data for each station.  The *.wct  files are zipped 
      into one file called s4wct.zip. The s4.csl file is a listing of ctd and 
      calculated values at standard levels.
      
      The following is a description of how the standard levels and calculated values 
      were derived for the s4.csl file:
      
      Salinity, Temperature and Pressure
      These three values were smoothed from the individual CTD files over the N 
      uniformly increasing pressure levels using the following binomial filter-
      
              t(j) = 0.25ti(j-1) + 0.5ti(j) + 0.25ti(j+1) j=2....N-1
      
      When a pressure level is represented in the *.csl file that is not contained 
      within the ctd values, the value was linearly interpolated to the desired level 
      after applying the binomial filtering.   
      
      Sigma-theta(SIG-TH:KG/M3), Sigma-2 (SIG-2: KG/M3), and Sigma-4(SIG-4: KG/M3)
      These values are calculated using the practical salinity scale (PSS-78) and the 
      international equation of state for seawater (EOS-80) as described in the UNESCO 
      publication 44 at reference pressures of the surface for SIG-TH; 2000 dbars for 
      Sigma-2; and 4000 dbars for Sigma-4.
      
      Gradient Potential Temperature
      (GRD-PT: C/DB 10-3) is calculated as the least squares slope between two levels, 
      where the standard level is the center of the interval.  The interval being the 
      smallest of the two differences between the standard level and the two closest 
      values. The slope is first determined using CTD temperature and then the 
      adiabatic lapse rate is subtracted to obtain the gradient potential temperature.  
      Equations and Fortran routines are described in UNESCO publication, Processing 
      of Oceanographic Station Data, 1991.
      
      Gradient Salinity
      (GRD-S: 1/DB 10-3) is calculated as the least squares slope between two levels, 
      where the standard level is the center of the standard level and the two closes 
      values.  Equations and Fortran routines are described in UNESCO publication, 
      Processing of Oceanographic Station Data, 1991.
      
      Potential Vorticity
      (POT-V: 1/ms 10-11) is calculated as the vertical component ignoring 
      contributions due to relative vorticity, i.e. pv=fN2/g, where f is the coriolius 
      parameter, N is the buoyancy frequency (data expressed as radius/sec), and g is 
      the local acceleration of gravity. 
      
      Buoyancy Frequency
      (B-V: cph) is calculated using the adiabatic leveling method, Fofonoff (1985) 
      and Millard, Owens and Fofonoff (1990).  Equations and Fortran routines are 
      described in UNESCO publication 44.
      
      Potential Energy 
      (PE: J/M2: 10-5) and Dynamic Height (DYN-HT: M) are calculated by integrating 
      from 0 to the level of interest.  Equations and fortran routines are described 
      in UNESCO publication, Processing of Oceanographic Station Data, 1991.
      
      Neutral Density 
      (GAMMA-N: KG/M3) is calculated with the program GAMMA-N (Jackett and McDougall) 
      version 1.3 Nov. 94.

      G.1  CTD DQE, WOCE section S04P
           (Eugene Morozov)
      
      Data quality of 2-db CTD temperature, salinity and oxygen 
      profiles and reference rosette samples were examined.  Vertical 
      distributions and theta-salinity curves were compared for individual 
      stations using the data of up and down CTD casts and rosette probes. 
      
      Data of several neighboring stations were compared.  The distance between 
      stations was 20 miles or greater, that is why I made comparison of no
      more than 4-5 stations, otherwise there was a great difference between
      measurements.
      
          There are no CTDOXY upcast data in the .hy2 file.
          Questionable data in *.hy2 file were marked in QUALT2 word.
          The general opinion of the data is that this is a high-quality data
              set with little remarks that could be done by me.  The entire 
              data set fully matches WOCE requirements.       
      
          Listing of results from the comparison of salinity and  oxygen data.
          Only those stations are listed which have data remarks.

      G.2  Hydrographic DQE, WOCE section S04P
           (J.C. Jennings)
      
      The nutrient data from the WOCE S4 section appears to be of very high 
      quality; particularly the silicate and phosphate data.  We compared 
      groups of 10 stations using nutrient/theta and nutrient/pressure 
      plots.  Nitrate data is generally good, but there is relatively more 
      spread in the nitrate theta plots than in the phosphate/theta plots 
      for the same station groups.  For several of the station groups the 
      total width of the phosphate/theta "envelope" in the deep and bottom 
      water is ca. 0.02 - 0.03 micromoles/kg; or about 1.0% -  1.5% of the 
      maximum phosphate concentrations.  The width of the nitrate/theta 
      envelopes ranges from 0.5 - 1.0 micromoles/kg; roughly 1.5% - 3% of the 
      maximum concentrations observed.  The overall range in the deep and 
      bottom water silicate concentrations is 20 - 25 micromoles/kg, 
      reflecting both interaction with bottom sediments and the increasing 
      presence of Ross Sea Bottom Water in the western half of the section.  
      This wide range in observed silicate concentrations should make the 
      silicate data particularly useful as a water mass tracer.  The real 
      variability in the silicate concentrations makes it more difficult to 
      assess the precision of these measurements, but for station groups 
      exhibiting a "tight" silicate/theta relationship in the Circumpolar 
      Deep Water, the relative precision seems to be  1% of the maximum 
      concentrations.  The nitrite data seems to be of uniformly high quality, 
      with maximum concentrations observed of about 0.5 micromoles/kg.
      
      It was not possible to compare the S4 data with recent historical 
      nutrient observations in the same area because the data either does not 
      exist or has not yet been disseminated.  The early ELTANIN data was not 
      used because there are known problems with much of the nutrient data 
      from these cruises.
      
      The quality control notes supplied by the data originator were extremely 
      useful and served as a model for the format of the individual comments 
      that follow.  In most cases, we were hesitant to assign a quality code 
      of "4" designating bad data with known sampling or analytical problems, 
      instead using the quality code of "3" for questionable data.  With 
      access to the sample logs and analyst's logbooks, the data originators 
      are better qualified to assign a code of "4".

                hesitate to contact us.

      12/01/94  Kozyr        CO2               DQE Begun: update note to T.Joyce
                I am pleased to inform you that the Carbon Dioxide 
                Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) has received the final 
                carbon-related measurements (Total C02 and PC02) from the 1992 
                R/V Akademik Ioffe expedition 90KDIOFF6/1 (WOCE section S4P). 
                Taro Takahashi, David Chipman, and Stewart Sutherland of Lamont 
                Doherty Earth Observa-tory provided the carbon-related 
                measurements along with files containing the preliminary 
                hydrographic and chemical measurements and the station 
                inventories. We will furnish you with the results of our DQE on 
                the S4P data after completion. If there are further 
                developments on the DQE and processing of the hydrographic 
                measure-ments, please let us know.

                We have been waiting for the data evaluator reports on 
                your bottle data from S4, and have only a partial report on 
                the nutrients. We also are still waiting for the CFC data 
                from Mark Warner and the CTD data from Scripps. We will 
                continue to seek these data and will keep you posted when 
                something happens; perhaps a message from you asking for 
                them to be submitted might help? In the meantime, the 
                enclosed floppy disk contains the most up to date version of 
                the bottle data and station summary file we have, as well as 
                a program, written for an IBM-type PC, for looking at the 
                bottle data. It is provided to the data quality evaluators 
                for flagging bad or questionable data; you might find it 
                helpful. Those individuals you listed as needing access to 
                this data set have been contacted by us; you need not send 
                them a copy of the data enclosed.

      03/14/95  Morozov      CTD/S/O           DQE Report Submitted

      03/30/95  Joyce        NUTs/CTD          DQE Complete; Notice to PIs
                We have now heard back from two DQEs on your IOFFE S4 
                dataset. Lou Gordon & Joe Jennings examined the nutrients 
                while Eugene Morozov, who is visiting the WHPO for three 
                months, looked at the salinity, oxygen and CTD data. Each of 
                the reports is attached as well as a table where each of the 
                DQEs have some disagreement with the quality assessment of 
                the bottle data.

                First, both of them agree that the data are of high quality, 
                but there are, of course, some problems in their view. As 
                for the CTD data, they were not submitted with any CTDOXY in 
                the bottle data. Some of the early datasets from ODF did not 
                have this, but more recent ones do. You should contact Jim 
                Swift and request that it be added to the file. Besides 
                making the bottle data more complete, it greatly facilitates 
                the DQEs' task of judging how well the CTDOXY is 
                'calibrated' to the bottles. Note that many of Morozov's 
                comments deal with CTDOXY from the CTD files and how it 
                'disagrees' with bottle data from the up cast. There are 
                also some suggestions from the data about possible leaking 
                bottles that you might consider. There are only 6 instances 
                where the DQE differs from the quality assessment as 
                submitted by you. Unless there are strong arguments to the 
                contrary, we will accept the DQE suggestions.

                There are numerous comments on the nutrient data, 
                particularly the nitrate. Also note that the DQE thought 
                many of your data flagged bad were either questionable or 
                good. In this case, we will let you be the judge-if you want 
                to retain you quality flag of "4", we will do so.
                Both reviewers noted that the lack of previous high quality 
                data in the region, makes it impossible to compare with 
                earlier cruises; this means that your dataset will become 
                our standard for comparison with other W11P cruises in the 
                southern reaches of the Pacific.

                I am sending this report to both of you, but I expect Jim 
                Richman to respond to this letter.

                There is an agreement that Dr. Jim Swift has taken 
                responsibility for preparation of the FINAL CTD/Rosette data 
                (except CFCs) and submitting it to WHP Office for further 
                release. Dr. Mark Warner is responsible for the preparation 
                of the CFCs. I have no objections against data release for 
                public use and greet that these data would be accessible for 
                oceanographic community.
                Regards, Mikhail Koshlyakov.

                I have placed the new bottle data file on the website from 
                the WHOI Pacific Atlas.  Mark Warner pointed out to me that 
                he had indeed given the CFCs to Terry Joyce right before the 
                conference.  In any case, this file also has TCARBN values 
                and is public.
                All tables have been updated to reflect these changes.

                We're finally getting caught up here and we'll be putting 
                out the AMS C14 data for S04P (90KDIOFFE6_1: Feb 1992).  
                NOSAMS date was 9/16/2000, and I'm pretty sure that you've 
                already OK'd this, but one can't be too sure.
                Simple confirmation is all that is required.  I hope that 
                all is well on your end.  BTW, I'm still working on 
                translating A12 data from you and straightening out the 
                A13/A14 flag weirdness.

                My understanding from Bob is that processing of C-13 for 
                these lines is finished. Is it possible to obtain the data 
                and/or an update on their status for the following cruise 
                lines? Any information you can provide would be greatly 
                appreciated! Thank you for your time!

      09/23/99  Anderson     NUTs              Data Update: changed nitrate values
                I have changed the three nitrite values for S04P station 
                716, bottles 4, 5, and 6 to 0.01 per Jim's e-mail.  I also 
                reformatted the .sum file.  Usual shifting, adding, deleting 
                columns. I did change the ExpoCode in the .sum file from 
                90KDIOFFE6/1 to RUKDIOFFE6_1 to conform with what is used on 
                the web site and in the .sea file (I assume this means we 
                are using RU for Russia instead of 90 which was used for the 
                Soviet Union).

                Just letting you know your 3 files (one data file, 2 doc 
                files) made it across the ether and look fine.  The data 
                file has the following header:
                Station,Cast,Bottle Number,Pressure (dB),Delta C-14 
                (0/00),c14e,c14f and includes stations 682 - 794.
                The pdf doc file has 11 pages, which we will insert directly 
                into our online pdf doc for s04p.  One question.  Do you 
                have a plain text file for this report that you could send?
                - Jerry

                The 3 files described in my e-mail of earlier today have 
                been ftp'ed to the WHPO INCOMING directory.

      04/20/00  Key          DELC14/DOC        Final Data Submitted; release date is 9/16/2000
                S4P was a Schlosser cruise. The official release date for 
                this data is 9/16/2000 which is about the same as the 
                expected release date for the next CD-ROM. It is quite 
                possible (probable) that this omission is my error rather 
                than WHPO (I'm more hesitant to submit other's data and this 
                may have fallen through the cracks in the process). Assuming 
                this to be the case, I have attached an ascii version of the 
                final data (S4P.C14).

                My data dump software isn't picky about format, so extra 
                decimal values can be rounded to WOCE specs and any 
                truncated too short can have O's added in the decimal field. 
                otherwise, the data is to WOCE specs. I have also attached 
                two versions of the final C14 report for this cruise 
                (S4P.Cl4.pdf and S4P.C14.ps). The report is similar to 
                previous final reports, has an OTL Tech Rep. # for 
                reference, includes color figures, and is also accessible 
                via the GLODAP web site. This cruise can now be listed as 
                WHPO-RAW.

                I have talked to Steve regarding the LVS and I believe he is 
                working on them.
                On the upcoming CD-ROM release it would be nice if the C-14 
                data could somehow be linked to the various Final Reports. 

      04/21/00  Key          Cruise Report     Submitted;ascii version
                I put a copy of the report (S4P.txt) in your INCOMING 
                directory.  Unfortunately, my translator strings the tables 
                out (by row) so it is a bit messy and the figures are cut. I 
                do have all of the figures available as either simple ps or 
                epsi files and could transform into pdf if there is any 
                gain.

      02/26/01  Schlosser    He/Tr/Ne          Website Updated: Status Changed to Public
                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.

      06/19/01  Swift        CTDTMP            Update Needed 
                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

      DATE      CONTACT      DATA TYPE         DATA STATUS SUMMARY
      --------  -----------  ----------------  ---------------------------------
      06/20/01  Johnson      CTD               Data Update; Processing error corrected
                revised data available by ftp  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.

      05/22/02  Anderson     DELC13            Website Updated: Data & new CSV file online
                Merged DELC13 data into online file s04phy.txt 
                (20010810WHPOSIODM). DELC13 data were  retrieved from Bob 
                Key's ftp site in May of 2001.
                Bottle file had a sta. 694 cast 3, but the sum file did not 
                have a cast 3 for sta. 694 (this was noted by Dave Muus 
                (2001/08/07). Dave deleted the cast from the bottle file 
                since it only contained CTD data. Subsequently a new bottle 
                file was put online (2001/08/13) which had the same problem. 
                Cannot create exchange format with this problem, so I 
                deleted sta. 694, cast 3. This problem needs to be resolved.  
                I created a new exchange file and put it online.

      05/26/03  Anderson     SUM/Nitrite       Nitrate values edited, SUM reformatted
                I have changed the three nitrite values for S04P station 
                  716, bottles 4, 5, and 6 to 0.01 per Jim's e-mail.  I also 
                  reformatted the .sum file.  Usual shifting, adding, deleting 
                  columns.  I did change the ExpoCode in the .sum file from 
                  90KDIOFFE6/1 to RUKDIOFFE6_1 to conform with what is used on 
                  the web site and in the .sea file (I assume this means we 
                  are using RU for Russia instead of 90 which was used for the 
                  Soviet Union).
                I have put the files on WHPO in 
                  /usr/export/ftp/pub/WHPO/S_ANDERSON/S04P.

      09/23/03  Warner       CFCs              DQE Summary report not found at WHPO
                I believe the CFC-12 section looks good when contoured. 
                The size of the unknown correction due to the poor 
                integration of CFC-12 on a tailing peak is relatively small 
                (I believe). It becomes a real problem when you try to 
                calculate rations for the lower CFC concentrations. You 
                could get away with presenting the section and somehow 
                noting the problem.
                I thought we had sent the documentation to WHPO. I better 
                double-check on that.

      11/12/03  Warner       CFCs              Final Data Submitted
                I ended up sending a tar of all the cruises for which we 
                did the DQE process. In general, the CFC PI agreed with our 
                evaluation and changed their QUALT1 flag to agree with our 
                suggested QUALT2 flag. Please feel free to ask questions. 
                (Fortunately, we had sent all of this data to Alex Orsi over 
                a year ago, so the atlas is made with this data.)
                  The file:  final_cfc_data.tar - 1618432 bytes
                  has been saved as:

                  The file contains these water sample identifiers:
                    WARNER, MARK would like the following action(s) taken on the data:
                      Merge Data
                      Update Parameters
                  Any additional notes are:
                    Miscommunication between myself and Dong-Ha Min have 
                    resulted in this delay. I will upload all of the data with 
                    its assigned (and agreed upon with the PI) QUALT2 (q2) and 
                    revised q1 characters.

      11/13/03  Anderson     CFCs              Website Updated: Data Online
                Mark Warner submitted a file with updated cfc data.  I 
                merged the CFC-11 and CFC-12 from file s04p_cfc_whpo_dat 
                into the online file.

                Online file only had QUALT1 flags.  Since the cfc file sent 
                by Warner had both Q1 and Q2 flags, I copied the Q1 flags to 
                the Q2 in the online file before I merged the CFCs. 
                File from Warner had Q flags of 1 for missing data.  I 
                changed them to 9.

      01/09/04  Talley       NUTs              Data Query: Nitrite on Sta 716 not correct
                  Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 17:27:12 -0800 (PST)
                  From: Lynne Talley <lynne@gyre.ucsd.edu>
                  To:   aorsi@tamu.edu, jswift@ucsd.edu, lynne@gyre.ucsd.edu, 
                        sarilee@minerva.ucsd.edu, sharon@gyre.ucsd.edu
                  Subject:  nitrites on s4p
                Nitrite on station 716, bottles 6, 5, 4 at 2818,3179, 3538 
                dbar can't possibly be right (> 2.5 where they should be 
                very close to zero).  I think I'm counting quality flags 
                right and don't see anything other than a 2 for the flags 
                for these 3 bottles.
                How do we go about resolving this?

      01/09/04  Talley       DELC13            Data Question: 1 decimal point accuracy?
                Bob and Sarilee - just checking - is it correct that 
                delc13 values on S4p have only one decimal point accuracy?

      01/12/04  Key          DELC13            Data Update: NOSAMS precision
                The 13C for S4P should have normal precision reported by 
                NOSAMS, i.e. not 1 decimal. I have attached the latest 
                version of that data as I received it from them (Dana 
                Stuart) on 8/9/99. These values need to be truncated.

      01/12/04  Anderson      NITRIT            Sta 716 error previously corrected
                Lynne Talley inquired about the DELC13 and 3 N02 values 
                  (see attached emails).     
                Bob Key sent a file with DELC13 and I remerged it with two 
                  decimal places instead of one.
                I changed the N02 for sta. 716, samples 6, 5, and 4, at 
                  2818.0, 3179.7, and 3538.7db to 0.01.  I had done this 
                  previously (see Data History 199/09/23).  The bad values 
                  were reintroduced when ODF resubmitted the data (2001/06/20) 
                  when they discovered a small error in their algorithm to 
                  convert ITS90 temp. calibration data to IPTS68.
