A.2.  CRUISE SUMMARY

A.2.a  GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES

A.2.b  STATIONS OCCUPIED

A total of 52 conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) stations were made along
the main track with up to 36 ten-liter water samples collected at
each station.  The CTD also carried an oxygen sensor and transmissometer.
Stations extended from the ocean surface to within about 10 m of the bottom.
All water samples were analyzed for salinity, dissolved oxygen and 
nutrient (nitrate, nitrite, silicate, phosphate) concentrations.
 
A.2.c  FLOATS AND DRIFTERS DEPLOYED

At 12 locations along the track, neutrally buoyant floats were deployed
for Russ Davis(Scripps Institution for Oceanography).  These were 
ballasted to float at 850 m depth, returning to the ocean surface
to report their positions monthly via satellite.

A.4  SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME AND METHODS

WOCE Leg P14C was carried out on R/V Knorr, sailing from Auckland, New Zealand 
on September 1 and arriving in Suva Fiji on September 15. Principal scientific 
objectives of WOCE are to determine the large-scale circulation of the ocean 
from surface to bottom including the fluxes of mass, heat and salt and to 
provide datasets necessary for modeling of ocean circulation and the ocean 
climate system. Line P14c focuses on eastward flowing waters of the subtropical 
gyre which carry heat away from the Australian continent into the interior of 
the ocean. In addition to the surface waters, the transect also sampled 
intermediate layers of Antarctic origin and deep layers of the nearly enclosed 
South Fiji Basin.

Due to favorable weather and having had no serious equipment breakdowns, the 
main track was completed a day ahead of schedule. In order to investigate a 
relatively strong current observed in the Kadavu Passage and to facilitate 
testing of the ship's backup winch, 16 shallow CTD stations (to 1000m depth) 
were carried out within the Kadavu Passage adjacent to the main track. No water 
samples were collected at these stations. In addition to the shipboard 
scientific party from U.S. institutions, participants from southwest Pacific 
countries included Mattias Tomczak and Cesar Villanoy from Flinders University, 
Australia, Leba Savu from University of the South Pacific, Fiji, and Basil 
Stanton from New Zealand Oceanographic Institute, New Zealand.

B.   HYDROGRAPHIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND CALIBRATIONS
     (Kristin Sandborn/ODF)

B.1  DESCRIPTION OF MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND CALIBRATIONS


Hydrographic casts (ODF CTD/rosette) were carried out with a NBIS
(Neil Brown Instrument System) CTD and a 36 bottle rosette sampler of ODF
manufacture using General Oceanics pylons.  An ODF-modified NBIS Mark 3
CTD, a Benthos altimeter, a SensorMedics oxygen sensor and a SeaTech
transmissometer provided by Texas A&M University (TAMU) were mounted on the
rosette frame.  Deep Sea Reversing Thermometers were used on this leg.
Seawater samples were collected in 10-liter PVC ODF bottles mounted on the
rosette frame.  The frame was a 36-place dual-ring (12-bottle inner,
24-bottle outer) ODF Rosette.  There were initially problems with pylons
and bottles (lanyard lengths, leaks), but tripping problems mostly cleared
up by Station 010.  A Benthos pinger 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 ElectroMechanical (EM) cable 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 36.  When one of these
36 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 37 through 40.  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, AMS 14C, and Tritium.  Nutrients (silicate, phosphate, nitrate and
nitrite), and Salinity are drawn next and could be sampled in arbitrary
order.  The identifiers of the sample containers and the numbers of the ODF
samplers from which the samples were drawn were recorded on the Sample Log
sheet at the time of the draw by a "bottle cop" responsible for keeping the
log.  Normal ODF sampling practice is to open the drain valve before
opening the air vent to see if water escapes, indicating the presence of a
small air leak in the sampler.  This observation ("air leak"), and other
comments ("lanyard caught in lid", "valve left open", etc.) which may
indicate some doubt about the integrity of the water samples were also
noted on the Sample Log sheets.  These comments are included in this
documentation with analyst and investigator comments.  These include
property/propery checks on data quality and sampler and analyst
performance.

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 usable, 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.  The oxygen and nutrient data were compared by ODF with
those from adjacent stations.  Any comments regarding the water samples
were investigated.  The raw data computer files were also checked for entry
errors that could have been made on the station number, bottle number
and/or flask number as would be the case for oxygens.  The salinity and
oxygen values were transmitted from PC's attached to either the salinometer
or oxygen titration system.  Nutrients were manually entered into the
computer; therefore these values were double checked for data 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.  Section E, the Quality Comments,
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 other than 2, an acceptable measurement.

The WOCE codes were assigned to the water data using the criteria:

code 1 =  Sample for this measurement was drawn from water bottle, but
          results of analysis not received.

code 2 =  Acceptable measurement.

code 3 =  Questionable measurement.  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 4 =  Bad measurement.  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 5 =  Not reported.  ODF avoids using this code, all data are reported.

code 9 =  Sample for this measurement not drawn.

Quality flags assigned to parameter BTLNBR (bottle number) as defined in
the WOCE Operations manual are further clarified as follows:

code 4 =  If the bottle tripped at a different level than planned, ODF
          assigned it a code 4.  If there is a 4 code on the bottle, and 2
          codes on the salinity, oxygen and nutrients then the reassigned
          pressure was probably correct.  If there is a 4 code on the
          bottle, and 4 codes on the salinity, oxygen and nutrients then
          the pressure assignment was probably incorrect and an appropriate
          pressure could not be obtained.

code 3 =  An air leak large enough to produce an observable effect on a
          sample is identified by a 3 code on the bottle and 4 code on the
          oxygen.  (Small air leaks may have no observable effect, or may
          only affect gas samples).

The following table shows the number of ODF samples drawn and the number of 
times each WOCE sample code was assigned.

B.2  CTD PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, SALINITY AND OXYGEN

All CTD pressure, temperature and salinity data reported with the
bottle data are from upcasts and correspond to the CTD data being acquired
at the time a bottle was tripped.  The CTD pressure and temperature data
have been corrected based on laboratory calibrations.  The CTD salinity
data are calibrated to bottle data, as described in the CTD processing
section which is submitted separately.  The CTD oxygen data reported in
bottle files are mostly from processed downcast pressure-series data;
occasionally an upcast had to be used because of problems with the
downcast.  The CTD oxygen data were matched to bottle stops along common
isopycnals, and inserted into the bottle files.  All reported CTD data are
calibrated and processed with the methodology described in the
documentation accompanying the CTD data submission.  The CTD data and
documentation are submitted separately.

The temperatures are based on the International Temperature Scale of
1990.  Potential temperature is calculated using the equations of Fofonoff.


B.3  SALINITY

A single ODF-modified Guildline Autosal Model 8400A salinometer
(Serial Number 57-396), located in a temperature-controlled laboratory, was
used to measure salinities.  The salinometer was standardized for each cast
with IAPSO Standard Seawater (SSW) Batch P-120, using at least one fresh
vial per cast.  Analyses and data acquisition were controlled by a small
computer through an interface board designed by ODF.  The salinometer cell
was flushed until successive readings met software criteria, then two
successive measurements were made and averaged for a final result.

Salinity samples were drawn into 200 ml Kimax high alumina
borosilicate bottles, after 3 rinses, and were sealed with custom-made
plastic insert thimbles and Nalgene screw caps.  This assembly provides
very low container dissolution and sample evaporation.  If loose inserts
were found, they were replaced to ensure an airtight seal.  Salinity was
determined after sample equilibration to laboratory temperature, usually
within 8-36 hours of collection.  Salinity was calculated according to the
equations of the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978 (UNESCO, 1981).  The
estimated accuracy of bottle salinities run at sea is usually better than
0.002 psu relative to the particular Standard Seawater batch used.
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.  This cruise achieved an accuracy of better than 0.001 psu.
Salinity samples were compared with CTD data and significant
differences were investigated.


B.4  OXYGEN

Dissolved oxygen analyses were performed with an SIO-designed
automated oxygen titrator using photometric end-point detection based on
the absorption of 365 nm wavelength ultra-violet light.  Thiosulfate was
dispensed by a Dosimat 665 buret driver fitted with a 1.0 ml buret.  ODF
uses a whole-bottle modified-Winkler titration following the technique of
Carpenter (1965) with modifications by Culberson et al.  (1991), but with
higher concentrations of potassium iodate standard (approximately 0.012N)
and thiosulfate solution (50 gm/l).  Standard solutions prepared from pre-
weighed potassium iodate crystals were run at the beginning of each session
of analyses, which typically included from 1 to 3 stations.  Several
standards were made up during the cruise and compared to assure that the
results were reproducible, and to preclude the possibility of a weighing
error.  Reagent/distilled water blanks were determined to account for
oxidizing or reducing materials in the reagents.  The auto-titrator
generally performed very well.

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-calibrated iodine flasks were rinsed twice with
minimal agitation, then filled via a drawing tube, and allowed to overflow
for at least 3 flask volumes.  The sample temperature was measured with a
small platinum resistance thermometer embedded in the drawing tube.
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 MnO(OH)2 precipitate.  The samples
were analyzed within 4-36 hours of collection.

Draw temperatures were very useful in detecting possible bad trips
even as samples were being drawn.  The data were logged by the PC control
software and then transferred to the Sun (the main computer) and
calculated.

Blanks, and thiosulfate normalities corrected to 20 degree C,
calculated from each standardization, were plotted versus time, and were
reviewed for possible problems.  New thiosulfate normalities were
recalculated after the blanks had been smoothed.  These normalities were
then smoothed, and the oxygen data was recalculated.

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 sample temperatures were
measured at the time the samples were 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 drawing
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).

Oxygen flasks were calibrated gravimetrically with degassed deionized
water (DIW) to determine flask volumes at ODF's chemistry laboratory.  This
is done once before using flasks for the first time and periodically
thereafter when a suspect bottle volume is detected.  All volumetric
glassware used in preparing standards is calibrated as well as the 10ml
Dosimat buret used to dispense standard Iodate solution.

Iodate standards are pre-weighed in ODF's chemistry laboratory to a
nominal weight of 0.44xx grams and exact normality calculated at sea.
Potassium Iodate (KIO3) is obtained from Johnson Matthey Chemical Co. and
is reported by the suppliers to be > 99.4% pure. All other reagents are
"reagent grade" and are tested for levels of oxidizing and reducing
impurities prior to use.


B.5  NUTRIENTS

Nutrient analyses (phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite) were
performed on an ODF-modified AutoAnalyzer II, generally within one hour of
the cast, although some samples may have been refrigerated at 2 to 6 degree
C for a maximum of 4 hours.  The procedures used are described in Gordon et
al.  (1992) except as noted below.  The AA generally performed well, with
minor pump and sampler problems.  A new PC/Sun-based data acquisition
system was used to acquire data and detect peaks.  All peaks were logged
through ODF's nutrient acquisition system, and all the runs were manually
re-read to check for possible computer reading errors.

Silicate is analyzed using the basic method of Armstrong et al.
(1967).  Ammonium molybdate is added to a seawater sample to produce
silicomolybdic acid which is then reduced to silicomolybdous acid (a blue
compound) following the addition of stannous chloride. The sample is passed
through a 15mm flowcell and measured at 820nm. ODF's methodology is known
to be non-linear at high silicate concentrations >120uM; consideration of
this non-linearity is included in ODF's software.

A modification of the Armstrong et al. (1967) procedure is used for
the analysis of nitrate and nitrite. For nitrate analysis, a seawater
sample is passed through a cadmium column where the nitrate is reduced to
nitrite.  This nitrite is then reacted with sulfanilamide and coupled with
N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine to form a red azo dye.  The sample is then
passed through a 15mm flowcell and measured at 540nm.  The procedure is the
same for the nitrite analysis less the cadmium column.  A 50mm flowcell is
required for nitrite (NO2).

Phosphate is analyzed using a modification of the Bernhardt and
Wilhelms (1967) method. Ammonium molybdate is added to a seawater sample to
produce phosphomolybdic acid, which is then reduced to phosphomolybdous
acid (a blue compound) following the addition of dihydrazine sulfate. The
sample is passed through a 50mm flowcell and measured at 820nm.

Nutrient samples were drawn into 45 ml high density polypropylene,
narrow mouth, screw-capped centrifuge tubes which were rinsed three times
before filling.  Standardizations were performed at the beginning and end
of each group of analyses (one cast, usually 36 samples) with a set of an
intermediate concentration standard prepared for each run from secondary
standards.  These secondary standards were in turn prepared aboard ship by
dilution from dry, pre-weighed primary standards.  Sets of 5-6 different
concentrations of shipboard standards were analyzed periodically to
determine the deviation from linearity as a function of concentration for
each nutrient.

Nutrients, reported in micromoles per kilogram, were converted from
micromoles per liter by dividing by sample density calculated at zero
pressure, in-situ salinity, and an assumed laboratory temperature of 25
degree C.

Silicate primary, Na2SiF6, standard is obtained from Fluka Chemical
Company and Fischer Scientific and is reported by the suppliers to be >98%
pure.  Nitrate, KNO3, nitrite, NaNO2, and phosphate, KH2PO4, primary
standards are obtained from Johnson Matthey Chemical Co. and the supplier
reports a purity of 99.999%, 97%, and 99.999%, respectively.



B.6   CFC-11 AND CFC-12 MEASUREMENTS - WOCE P14C
      (Mark J. Warner, Xin Bu)

B.6.a  SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Samples for CFC analysis were drawn from the 10-liter Niskins into 100-cc ground 
glass syringes fitted with plastic stopcocks. These samples were the first 
aliquots drawn from the particular Niskins. There is no evidence of high 
contamination levels of the CFC samples resulting from the Niskin bottles.  

The samples were analyzed using the CFC extraction and analysis system of Dr. 
Ray Weiss of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The analytical procedure and 
data analysis are described by Bullister and Weiss (1988). This analytical 
system had been used during WHP section P6, and had remained set up in the main 
laboratory of the RV Knorr with carrier gas flushing the system during the 
month-long break between WOCE legs. The CFC concentrations in air were measured 
approximately twice per day during this expedition. Air was pumped to the main 
laboratory from the bow through Dekabon tubing. 

Calibration working standard, calibrated on the SIO1986 scale, was used to 
calibrate the response of the electron capture detector of the Shimadzu Mini-2 
GC to the CFCs. This standard, Airco cylinder CC70135, contained gas with CFC-11 
and CFC-12 concentrations of 271.9 parts per trillion (ppt) and 502.2 ppt, 
respectively. To convert these results to the SIO1993 scale, CFC-11 
concentrations need to be multiplied by 0.9755 and CFC-12 concentrations need to 
be multiplied by 1.0128.

B.6.b  SAMPLING BLANKS

There is always a small amount of contamination of the CFCs in the sampling and 
analysis of water samples. We have attempted to estimate this level of 
contamination by taking the mode of measured CFC concentration in samples which 
should be CFC-free. In this region, measurements of other transient tracers such 
as carbon-14 indicate that the deep waters are much older than the CFC 
transient. We have used all samples deeper than than 2000 meters to determine 
the blanks of 0.0055 picomoles per kilogram (pmol/kg) for CFC-11 and 0.0035 
pmol/kg for CFC-12. These concentrations have been subtracted from all the 
reported dissolved CFC concentrations.

B.6.c  DATA

In addition to the CFC concentrations which have merged with the .SEA file, the 
following three tables have been included to complete the data set. The first

B.8  QUALITY COMMENTS

Remarks for deleted samples, missing samples, and WOCE codes other than 2
from WOCE P14C.  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 investigations are
included in this report.

STATION 003

134 @ 580db    Salinity drawn, not analyzed.  Salinometer log: "Salt bottle
               cracked."  Footnote salinity sample lost.

STATION 005

117 @   2db    Salinity was not listed on Sample Log Sheet, but sample was
               analyzed.

STATION 006

116 @ 103db    Sample log: "leaking from bottom lid."  Samples appear to be
               okay.

121 @ 337db    Sample log: "Lids not closed properly."  PI: "open Niskin
               lid, O2 certainly too high, S probably too high. O2 should
               be deleted."  Delta-S at 338db is 0.1417, salinity is
               35.183.  Footnote bottle leaking, samples bad.  ODF
               recommends deletion of water samples.

127 @ 905db    Sample log: "Lids lost, no samples drawn."

130 @1209db    Delta-S at 1209db is 0.0092, salinity is 34.511.
               Salinometer took many tries to get two comparable readings.
               Sample must have been contaminated, maybe a salt crystal.
               Footnote salinity bad.  ODF recommends the deletion of
               salinity.  Other samples appear to be okay.  Salinity agrees
               with Stations 008 and 009.

136 @1826db    Sample log: "O2 redrawn."  Oxygen appears to be okay.

STATION 007

214 @  16db    Sample log: "leaking valve."  Delta-S at 16db of 2nd run is
               0.0309, salinity is 35.490.  Used original run value.
               Delta-S is now .0187.  Salinity acceptable for shallow
               water.  Oxygen and other samples appear to be okay.

217 @ 150db    Sample log: "leaking bottle."  Samples appear to be okay.

221 @ 343db    Sample log: "leaking valve."  Samples appear to be okay.

222 @ 386db    Sample log: "leaking bottle."

223 @ 473db    Delta-S at 474db is 0.0778, salinity is 34.984.  Suspect
               salinity value effected by salinometer problems.  Footnote
               salinity bad.  ODF recemmends the deletion of salinity.

227 @ 840db    Sample log: "valve drips."  Samples appear to be okay.

STATION 008

117 @ 154db    Sample log: "Leaks."  Samples appear to be okay.

118 @ 203db    PI: "S/O2 curve looks unusual but no particular reason to
               suspect validity of the O2 value(s) from the O2 sampling or
               analysis."  NO2 low compared to adjoining stations and
               station profile.  Re-reread chart and peak good just very
               low.  NO3 agrees with adjoining stations.  Footnote no2
               uncertain.

119 @ 254db    PI: "S/O2 curve looks unusual but no particular reason to
               suspect validity of the O2 value(s) from the O2 sampling or
               analysis."  nuts -- suspicious n:p ratio Oxygen and no2
               appears high, no3, po4, and sil low compared with adjoining
               station plots.  Salinity and oxygen slightly high compared
               with CTD.  Based on comments by PI and comparison of data,
               footnote samples bad which in turn would indicate a bottle
               problem, so footnote bottle leaking.  However, one confusing
               factor is the no2, there is not a data value as high in the
               upper water column.  ODF recommends the deletion of water
               samples.

121 @ 404db    Sample log: "Leak at vent."  Samples appear to be okay.

122 @ 504db    Sample log: "Leaks."  Samples appear to be okay.

125 @ 802db    Delta-S at 804db is 0.013, salinity is 34.480.  Oxygen:
               "poor peak."  Oxygen appears to be okay.

135 @2203db    Sample log: "Leaks barely at lower end."  Samples appear to
               be okay.

STATION 009

105 (No Pressure)
               Sample log does not indicate there was water in the bottles,
               and the bottles are lined through.  No water samples drawn,
               level not reported in data set.

106 (No Pressure)
               See 105 comment.

107 @   2db    Sample log indicates that bottles tripped incorrectly, (7
               tripped at the surface). But console ops indicates that
               there were 32 confirmations and that 7 tripped at 50db and
               not at the surface as the sample log indicates.  Console ops
               has a note: 11 & 12 (250 & 300) not tripped.  Appears that
               bottles did not trip as scheduled, data tripping sequence
               has been corrected to 107-112

108 @  15db    See 107 bottle tripping comment.  Footnote bottle did not
               trip as scheduled.

109 @  55db    See 107 bottle tripping comment.  Footnote bottle did not
               trip as scheduled.

110 @ 105db    Delta-S at 205db is 0.057, salinity is 35.492.  Delta-S at

C.1  INTRODUCTION

This document describes the CTDO data acquisition, calibration, and
other processing techniques used on WOCE92-P14C, also known as Knorr 138/7.
This WOCE leg was done on the R/V Knorr from September 1 - 15, 1992.


C.2  CTD ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SUMMARY

52 CTD casts and several aborted or test casts were done during P14C.
An additional 16 CTD casts with no bottle data were done after the P14C
work was completed; these were only processed shipboard and are not part of
this data release.  The rosette used was an ODF-designed 36-bottle system
with a ring of twelve 10-liter bottles and 12- and 24-place General
Oceanics pylons 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 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.

An ODF-designed deck unit demodulated the FSK CTD signal to an RS-232
interface.  The raw CTD data signal was split into three 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 P14C expedition, a Sun
SPARCstation 2 computer served as the real-time data acquisition processor.
Various Sun SPARC computers were used during post-cruise processing as
well.

The analog CTD audio signal was recorded on VHS videotape, and all
digital binary data were logged on a hard disk and then backed up to
cartridge tape.  In addition, all intermediate versions of processed data
were backed up to cartridge tape.

CTD data processing consists of a sequence of steps; some steps are
optional and used only when necessary.  Data can be re-processed from any
point in this sequence after the data have been acquired and stored.  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:

o    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.

o    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 exceeded.  The filters may be
     adjusted as needed for each cast.

                         TYPICAL P14C RAW DATA FILTERS

              Raw Data     |         |         | Frame-to-Frame
              Channel      | Minimum | Maximum |    Gradient   
              -------------|---------|---------|---------------
              Pressure     |   -40   |  6400   |   2 decibars  
              -------------|---------|---------|---------------
              Temperature  |   -8    |  32.7   |    .2 deg.C   
              -------------|---------|---------|---------------
              Conductivity |    0    | 64.355  |    .3 mmho    
              -------------|-----------------------------------
              Oxygen       |        (no filter was used)       


o    Pressure and conductivity are phase-adjusted to match the temperature
     response, since the temperature sensor responds more slowly to change.
     Conductivity data are corrected for ceramic compressibility in
     accordance with the NBIS Mark III-B Reference Manual.

o    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, minus 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.

o    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 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 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, internal waves, wire angles, etc.).

The CTD time series is always the primary  CTD  data  record  for  the
pressure,  conductivity and temperature channels.  The final corrections 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 investiga-
tor and to the WHPO.

Subsequent sections of this document discuss the laboratory
calibrations, data processing and corrections for the CTD used during P14C.


C.3    CTD LABORATORY CALIBRATIONS

C.3.a  PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CALIBRATION

The CTD #1 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 (-2.0 to -1.4
degrees C bath) to a maximum of 8830 psi, and at warm temperature (29.1 to
30.0 degrees C bath) to a maximum of 2030/4030 psi pre-/post-cruise.  The
CTD #1 post-cruise testing included an additional calibration to 4030 psi
in a 10.3 degrees C bath.

In addition to testing the CTD pressure response to increases in
pressure at stable temperatures (mechanical hysteresis), CTD pressure
sensor sensitivity to temperature change was checked by thermal shock
tests.  The CTD was subjected to a step change in temperature from warm air
to cold water bath at stable pressure in the laboratory, then the CTD
pressure and temperature were measured over a period of at least 1 hour.
The thermal shock response was also checked in the opposite direction, cold
bath to warm bath; that response was roughly mirror-image to the warm-to-
cold response.

Thermal shock tests for CTD #1 were done from warm air to cold water
bath, and later from cold bath to warm air, during the post-cruise
calibration.  Further testing was done in Oct.93 to get a better cold-to-
warm response check by going from cold bath to warm bath; the air was too
unstable to get a proper check in the May 93 attempt.

CTD #1 pre- and post-cruise pressure calibrations are summarized in
Figures 1 and 2.

C.3.b  PRT TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

Both CTD #1 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.  Six or more calibration
temperatures, spaced across the range of -2.0 to 30.1 degrees C, were
measured both pre- and post-cruise.

CTD #1 pre- and post-cruise temperature calibrations, referenced to
the ITS-90 standard, are summarized in Figure 3.  Calibration coefficients
are converted to the IPTS-68 standard: CTD temperature data are corrected
to the IPTS-68 standard because calculated parameters, including salinity
and density, are currently defined in terms of that standard only.  After
all data are finalized, IPTS-68 data are converted back to the ITS-90
standard as desired via multiplication by a constant factor.



C.4    CTD DATA PROCESSING

C.4.a  PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND CONDUCTIVITY/SALINITY CORRECTIONS

A maximum of 36 salinity and oxygen check samples were collected
during each CTD cast.  Thermometric pressure and temperature data were also
measured at 1 level during 26 casts on P14C.

A 3- to 4-second average of the CTD time-series data was calculated
for each sample.  The resulting data were then used to verify the pre- and
post-cruise temperature calibrations, and to derive CTD
conductivity/salinity and oxygen corrections.

The following chart clarifies which sensors/winches were used for each
cast:

C.4.a.1  CTD #1 PRESSURE CORRECTIONS

CTD #1 pre- and post-cruise pressure calibrations, Figures 1a and 1b,
were compared.  The warm/shallow and cold/deep calibration curves both
shifted at the surface by about 2.5 to 3 decibars from pre- to post-cruise.
The cold/deep pressure calibration curves had similar slopes in the top
2400 decibars, then diverged an additional 2 decibars between 2400 and 6100
decibars.  The post-cruise cold/upcast curve was 1 decibar closer to the
downcast than pre-cruise.  The warm/shallow slope was less steep post-
cruise, and the surface points were .5 decibar further from the cold curve
than they were during the pre-cruise calibration.  The post-cruise downcast
pressure calibrations had similar slopes at all 3 temperatures, whereas the
pre-cruise warm calibration curve was steeper than the cold.

Because of the pre- and post-cruise slope inconsistencies, laboratory
calibrations from Dec.91, May 92 and Oct.93 were also examined for trends
over time.  The cold/deep correction curve slopes have gone more more
negative and the warm/cold surface offsets have drifted apart with time.
Only the Aug.92/pre-cruise calibration contradicts these trends; the May
93/post-cruise pressure calibrations are much more consistent with the
history of the instrument.  The post-cruise pressure calibrations were used
to correct the CTD #1 station data, with an additional offset applied to
account for the shift in the calibration curves over time.  No slope change
was applied to the May 93 data, since there was less than a 1 decibar in
6000 decibars slope change between May 92 and May 93 laboratory
calibrations.

The additional offset to the pressure calibration was determined by
examining raw CTD pressure vs temperature data from the laboratory
temperature calibrations and comparable shipboard data.  Raw CTD pressure
vs temperature data from just before the CTD entered the water on each cast
were tabulated.  The CTD readings were fairly stable, with atmospheric
pressures and stable ambient temperatures around the CTD for 30 or more
minutes prior to each cast, similar to conditions during the laboratory
calibrations.  The post-cruise/May 93 pressure calibration curves were
shifted by the +3.0-decibar average difference between the laboratory and
cast data; the resulting data, Figure 1c, were used to correct P14C CTD #1
pressure data.

Post-cruise warm-to-cold thermal shock data, Figure 2a, were fit to
determine the time constants and temperature coefficients which model the
pressure response to rapid temperature change.  May 91 and May 93/post-
cruise data were compared: the results were similar in magnitude and
response time.  A thermal shock test from cold to warm water baths was done
in Oct.93, Figure 2b.  The results were similar in magnitude but mirror-
image to the warm-to-cold shock tests from May 93.  The May 93 time
constants and temperature coefficients, listed in the table at the end of
this section, were used to correct the P14C CTD #1 pressure data.  The
thermal response pressure correction applied to upcasts used a modification
of the downcast correction to achieve the mirror-image effect seen in the
laboratory.

Thermometric pressures were measured at 1 deep point on each of 26
casts.  The only shift observed in thermometric/CTD pressure differences
could be attributed to a change in the DSRTs used to measure the
thermometric values.

The shifted May 93/post-cruise calibration curve, Figure 1c, was used
in conjunction with the May 93 thermal shock results, Figure 2a, to correct
the pressure for all P14C CTD #1 casts.  Any residual offset was
compensated for automatically at each station: as the CTD entered the
water, the corrected pressure was adjusted to 0.

C.4.a.2  CTD #1 TEMPERATURE CORRECTIONS

CTD #1 had two temperature sensors: PRT-1, a Rosemount sensor, was
calibrated pre- and post-cruise; PRT-2 was an interchangeable FSI sensor.
Different FSI sensors were installed in CTD #1 during the pre- and post-
cruise calibrations; both FSI sensors underwent repairs between the
calibrations.

PRT-2 was used to monitor any PRT-1 drift during the cruise.  Data
from either PRT-2 sensor, when working properly, gave consistent
differences when compared to PRT-1 data.  Thermometric temperatures were
measured during 26 casts to further check for shifts in PRT-1.  No changes
were noted during the leg.

A comparison of the pre- and post-cruise laboratory CTD #1 PRT-1
temperature transducer calibrations, Figures 3a and 3b, showed two curves
with nearly identical slopes and a +.001 deg.C shift in the temperature
correction over the range of 0 to 32 deg.C.  An average of the two
laboratory calibrations was calculated by averaging the coefficients of the
pre- and post-cruise temperature correction curve fits.  The corrections
were converted to the IPTS-68 standard and then applied to the CTD #1
temperature data.

C.4.a.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 grouped by
stations, based on common PRT and conductivity sensor combinations, and
then fit as a function of station number to generate smoothed slopes for
each group.  These smoothed slopes were either averages of the slopes in
the station group (0-order) or changing by a fixed amount from station to
station (1st-order as a function of station number).

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 as above, based on common PRT
and conductivity sensor combinations.  The resulting smoothed offsets were
then applied to the data.  Conductivity slope as a function of conductivity
was re-checked to ensure that no residual slope remained.

CTD #1

CTD #1 conductivity slopes were stable throughout P14C, dropping
gradually from the first to the last station.  A smoothly shifting
conductivity slope as a function of station number was applied to the P14C
casts, changing a total of -.00033 between stations 1 and 52.

Residual CTD #1 conductivity offset values were calculated after
applying the conductivity slopes.  Conductivity offsets were fit as a
function of station number, then the smoothed 1st-order offsets were
applied to CTD conductivities for stations 1 to 44.  The conductivity
sensor was cleaned after station 44, causing a shift in the offset
beginning station 45.  An average of the conductivity offsets for the
deeper stations 45-49 was applied through station 52.

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.

Plots of the final/adjusted P14C conductivity slopes and offsets for
CTD #1 can be found in Figures 4a and 4b.

C.4.c  BOTTLE vs. CTD CONDUCTIVITY STATISTICAL SUMMARY

The P14C calibrated bottle-minus-CTD conductivity statistics include
salinity values with quality 3 or 4.  There is approximately a 1:1
correspondence between conductivity and salinity residual differences.
Plots of the differences at all pressures and at pressures below 1500
decibars are shown in Figures 5a and 5b.

The following statistical results were generated from the final bottle
data set and the corrected up-cast CTD data:

C.4.d    CTD DISSOLVED OXYGEN DATA

C.4.d.1  CTD OXYGEN CORRECTIONS

Dissolved oxygen data were acquired using a single Sensormedics dissolved oxygen 
sensor for the entire leg.

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.  All the 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 P14C 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
36-bottle sampling scheme.

The P14C surface oxygen data fitting was adversely affected by the
typical going-in-water bubbles/noise, making 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.

C.4.d.2  BOTTLE vs. CTD OXYGEN STATISTICAL SUMMARY

CTD oxygens were generated by fitting up cast oxygen bottle data to
down cast CTD raw oxygen current measurements along isopycnals.  Residual
oxygen differences from these fits (up cast bottle oxygens vs corrected
down cast CTD oxygens), including oxygen values with quality code 3 or 4,
are shown in the table below:

C.4.e  ADDITIONAL PROCESSING

A software filter was used on 16 casts to remove conductivity and/or
temperature spiking problems in about 0.078% of the time-series data
frames.  Pressure did not require filtering.

Oxygen spikes were filtered out of 50 casts.  The filtered oxygen
levels affected approximately .965% of the time-series data frames.  33.75%
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.

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 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.

C.4.f  GENERAL COMMENTS/PROBLEMS

There is one pressure-sequenced CTD data set, to near the ocean floor,
for each of 52 casts at 52 station locations.  There was one additional
equipment test cast, plus two casts aborted because of winch and/or CTD
problems; these were neither processed nor reported.  Another CTD cast was
done immediately after any aborted cast at the same location.  After the
WOCE92-P14C work was completed, there were an additional 16 casts done for
CTD data only and with no water samples collected (stations 53-68).  These
casts are not reported in this distribution as they are not part of the
WOCE line.

The data reported are all from down casts.

The 0-2 decibar level(s) 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; if there was any question
that the surface values might be real, the original data was reported.
Extrapolated surface levels are identified by a count of "1" in the "Number
of Raw Frames in Average" reported with each data record on the tapes.

Four time-series data sets had areas of missing data.  Data for the
2-decibar pressure levels which would have had missing data were
interpolated.  The pressures for these interpolated 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.  All interpolated data
levels have a count of "1" in the "Number of Raw Frames in Average" column
in the data files.

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
and/or slowed, as during bottom approaches, at the cast bottom, or at
bottle trips, where depletion of oxygen at the sensor causes lower oxygen
readings.  Significant delays and yoyos during the casts are documented in
Appendix D.


D.   DATA QUALITY EVALUATION
  
D.1  DQ EVALUATION OF WOCE P14C HYDROGRAPHIC DATA  
     (Arnold Mantyla)
     1999 SEP 14

WOCE line P14C ran from New Zealand's North Island northward through the South 
Fiji Basin to Suva, Fiji. The deeper waters of the basin are quite uniform in 
characteristics and provided a good test on the station to station analytical 
consistency, which overall was quite good. The shallower parts of the station 
profiles should be more interesting, with intermediate depth waters crossing the 
section westward and the surface layers crossing eastward as part of the 
subtropical gyre. 

A 36 place rosette was used, although the full complement of bottles was not 
always needed because all of the casts were shallower than 4500m. There were a 
number of mis-fires, leakers and other trip problems that presaged the more 
frequent trip problems on later legs of this Knorr voyage; but all of the 
planned stations had reasonably complete profiles on this leg. The only other 
WOCE line to cross this one was WOCE P06. The crossing comparisons were fairly 
good, but the P06 deep salinities looked a little smoother than the P14C 
station, while the oxygen profiles were smoother on P14C. Deep silicates 
differed by about 3um, as has been true of other cruise crossings analyzed 
separately by SIO and OSU, with OSU being the lower one due to differences in 
the way the standardization calibrations are handled. WOCE silicate data could 
be improved if the data were recalculated in a consistent manner. The P06 
crossing was at P14C station 17, the latter station deep salinities were 
somewhat noisier than most of the rest of the cruise, so the P06/P14C salinity 
comparison may not be representative of the rest of the cruise.

Standard Seawater Batch P120, used on this cruise was only about  4 months old. 
From other data on P120 changes with age, the salinity data on this cruise 
should be correct to less than .001 in salinity bias from the use of this SSW 
standard. The near surface CTD oxygen values assigned to the bottle trip data 
are often quite poor. They are from the down cast, and the initial start down 
CTD O2's frequently are not very reliable, so I have flagged the poorer ones as 
"uncertain".

This cruise has been checked over very carefully by the originators, and I did 
not find it necessary to change very many of the data quality flags. However, I 
believe two codes were often misused: the "bad" code for data that was merely 
suspicious and should have been flagged only as "uncertain"; and the 
contradictory codes "did not trip correctly" on the bottle numbers with "data 
ok" on the water sample. For the most part, the "bad" codes were left as is. In 
the other case, the problem usually starts with an initial bottle hang-up or 
late trip on one bottle, causing the remaining trips to be offset from their 
initial planned trip depths. However, those bottles do trip correctly, and once 
the CTD info has been unscrambled, there should not be any codes left to cast 
doubt on the quality of the data. I recommend the "4" codes on the bottles on 
stations 9, 17, and 20 be changed to "2" to be compatible with the water sample 
quality code. Otherwise, a data user that sees a code that means the bottle did 
not trip correctly is apt to conclude that the water samples must be doubtful 
also. 

The deep nitrates on station 11, 12, 18, and 20 appear to be systematically low 
compared to adjacent stations and the rest of the cruise profiles. I suggest the 
data originators take another look at the standard factors to see if the data 
can be improved. These sorts of offsets often happen when a new cadmium 
reduction column is used. If no error can be found, I recommend that the 
nitrates be flagged "uncertain" below 1500m for those 4 stations. 

The following are some additional problems that should be looked into: 

STATION 9 -  The top 5 bottles are flagged "did not trip correctly", and there 
             are no data listed at all at the probable planned depths of 250 and 
             300db. The water samples are ok as listed, so the bottle codes 
             should be changed to ok also. Also, it would be useful to list the 
             original CTD trip information at 250 and 300db, with an artificial 
             bottle number.

STATION 16 - All of the salinities are low compared to the CTD and adjacent 
             stations. The original salinometer values should be re-examined, 
             standard dial settings consistent with other stations, or excessive 
             apparent (wrong) drift? If no problem found, I would tend to let it 
             go as is.

STATION 21 - Most of the silicates have been flagged bad due to an analytical 
             problem. The analyst noted an absorbance jump of .085 between the 
             first and second sample. I would try to salvage the data by adding 
             .085 to the first sample absorbance and the beginning baseline and 
             re-calculate the data. If the recalculated data agree well with the 
             adjacent stations, they can then be accepted as ok.

STATION 23 - A clear sampling error has occurred at 808 and 909db. Only one 
             salinity was collected, it is listed at 808db, but is clearly from 
             909db. Since the CTD verifies the correct position, I see no reason 
             why the sampling error can't be corrected.
            
STATION 29 - The deep silicates appear to be a few units higher than the 
             adjacent stations. I suggest the calculations be re-checked. The 
             phosphates appear to be a little high also, they should be re-
             checked.


D.2  CTD DATA CONSISTENCY EVALUATION
     (WHPO Staff)
     2002 FEB 21

The WHP-Exchange format bottle and/or CTD data from this cruise have been
examined by a computer application for contents and consistency. The
parameters found for the files are listed, a check is made to see if all
CTD files for this cruise contain the same CTD parameters, a check is made
to see if there is a one-to-one correspondence between bottle station
numbers and CTD station numbers, a check is made to see that pressures
increase through each file for each station, and a check is made to locate
multiple casts for the same station number in the bottle data. Results of
those checks are reported in this '_check.txt' file.

When both bottle and CTD data are available, the CTD salinity data (and, if
available, CTD oxygen data) reported in the bottle data file are subtracted
from the corresponding bottle data and the differences are plotted for the
entire cruise. Those plots are the' _sal.ps' and '_oxy.ps' files.

D.3  FINAL CFC DATA QUALITY EVALUATION (DQE) COMMENTS ON P14C.
     (David Wisegarver)
     Dec 2000
 
During the initial DQE review of the CFC data, a small number of samples were 
given QUALT2 flags which differed from the initial QUALT1 flags assigned by the 
PI. After discussion, the PI concurred with the DQE assigned flags and updated 
the QUAL1 flags for these samples.

The CFC concentrations have been adjusted to the SIO98 calibration Scale (Prinn 
et al. 2000) so that all of the Pacific WOCE CFC data will be on a common 
calibration scale.

For further information, comments or questions, please, contact the CFC PI for 
this section (mwarner@ocean.washington.edu) or David Wisegarver 
(wise@pmel.noaa.gov).

was 316N138/7. Dean Roemmich was the chief scientist. The cruise departed 
Auckland, New Zealand on September 1, 1992 and ended on Sep-tember 15, 1992 at 
Suva, Fiji. The cruise made a meridional section along 175E from approxi-mately 
36S to 18S. 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 vol-ume radiocarbon samples. The AMS station 
locations are summarized in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1. A total of 273 D 14C 
samples were collected at 12 stations.

D.4.2.0 PERSONNEL

14C sampling for this cruise was carried out by T. Zahn from the Ocean Tracer 
Lab at Prin-ceton University. 14C analyses were performed at the National Ocean 
Sciences AMS Facility (NOSAMS) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. 
Salinity, oxygen and nutrients were analyzed by Scripps ODF. R. Key collected 
the data from the originators, merged the files, assigned quality control flags 
to the 14C results and submitted the data files to the WOCE office (11/97). R. 
Key is P.I. for the 14C data.

D.4.3.0  RESULTS

This 14C data set and any changes or additions supersedes any prior release.

D.4.3.1  HYDROGRAPHY

Hydrography from this leg has been submitted to the WOCE office by the chief 
scientist and described in the hydrographic report.

D.4.3.2  14C

The D 14C values reported here were originally distributed in a data reports 
(NOSAMS, July 28, 1997). That report included preliminary results which had not 
been through the WOCE quality control procedures.

All of the AMS samples from this cruise have been measured. Replicate 
measurements were made on 9 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 3.6 (equal weighting for each replicate set). This precision is 
typical for the time frame over which these samples were measured (Dec. 1996 - 
Mar. 1997). 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 an estimate of the true error which includes errors due to sample 
collection, sample degassing, etc. For a detailed discussion of this see Key 
(1996). Note that for stations 33 and 37 the reported errors were tripled by the 
PI to account for a problem with the sample collection (see next section).

D.4.4.0  QUALITY CONTROL FLAG ASSIGNMENT

Quality flag values were assigned to all D 14C 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). Measure-ment flags values of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been 
assigned. The choice between values 2 (good), 3 (questionable) or 4 (bad) 
involves some interpretation. There is no overlap between this data set and any 
existing 14C data, so that type of comparison was not possible. In general the 
lack of other data for comparison led to a more lenient grading on the 14C data.

When using this data set for scientific application, any 14C datum which is 
flagged with a "3" should be carefully considered. My subjective opinion is that 
any datum flagged "4" should be disregarded. When flagging 14C data, the 
measurement error was taken into consideration. That is, approximately one-third 
of the 14C measurements are expected to deviate from the true value by more than 
the measurement precision (~3.6). No measured values have been removed from 
this data set, therefore a flag value of 5 implies that the sample was totally 
lost somewhere between collection and analysis. 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).

Table 3: Summary of Assigned Quality Control Flags

                           Flag | Number
                           -----|-------
                              2 | 234
                              3 | 22
                              4 | 3
                              5 | 5
                              6 | 9

NOSAMS personnel noted that the quality of the results from stations 33 and 37 
was sig-nificantly lower than normal. The problem was not analytical, therefore 
the scatter was assumed to be due to a problem with either collection or 
poisoning. Mercury concentration for most of the samples from these stations was 
found to be low. Rather than omit these results or simply flag them all as bad, 
the results were carefully checked, with several being marked "questionable" 
then the reported errors were tripled. While these data are clearly not up to 
normal WOCE standards, I felt that the data were "better than nothing". By 
substantially increasing the reported errors, the weight of these data relative 
to other measurements can be decreased - caveat emptor.

D.4.5.0 DATA SUMMARY 

Figures 2-5 summarize the D 14C data collected on this leg. Only D 14C 
measurements with a quality flag value of 2 ("good") or 6 ("replicate") are 
included in each figure. Figure 2 shows the D 14C values with 2s error bars 
plotted as a function of pressure. The mid depth D 14C minimum which normally 
occurs around 2200 to 2400 meters in the Pacific is totally absent in this data 
set. Figure 3 shows the D 14C 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 (D 14C = -70 - Si) represents the relationship between 
naturally occurring radiocarbon and silicate for most of the ocean. They 
interpret devia-tions in D 14C above this line to be due to input of bomb-
produced radiocarbon, however, they note that the interpretation can be 
problematic at high latitudes. Samples collected from shallower depths at these 
stations show an upward curving trend with decreasing silicate values reflecting 
the addition of bomb produced 14C. The D 14C values for the silicate 
concentration range 50-120 mmol/kg generally fall somewhat below Broecker's 
global trend. With most of the Pacific data sets, the silicate - D 14C trend 
doubles back on itself with the deep and bottom water values having a somewhat 
steeper slope than the waters from the thermocline (down to approximately 
2500m). This doubling back is totally absent from the P14C data primarily 
because the deep and bottom waters sampled on this cruise are from a basin which 
is topographically isolated from open Pacific bottom waters.

Another way to visualize the 14C - silicate correlation is as a section. Figure 
4 shows D 14C as contour lines in silicate - latitude space for samples 
collected at depths between 500 and 2500 meters. In this space, shallow waters 
are toward the bottom of the figure. The 500 meter cutoff was selected to 
eliminate those samples having a very large bomb produced 14C component. The 
2500 meter cutoff was selected because this is the approximate topographic sill 
for the basin. For reference the 1000 meter depth contour is also shown (heavy 
line). For this data set, Broecker's hypothesis works reasonably well. The D 14C 
isolines are approximately horizontal and the spacing of the isolines for 
contours which fall below the depth of bomb-radiocarbon contamination are more 
or less equal. Some of the non linearity in the isolines is due to the data 
quality for stations 33 and 37. The presence of bomb produced radiocarbon in the 
shallower waters is indicated by the close spacing of the isolines for these 
waters.

Figure 5 compares the surface D 14C values for P14C to those from the Pacific 
GEOSECS data set in the same general area. throughout this latitude range, the 
WOCE measurements are lower than GEOSECS, but the difference is not nearly so 
great as is seen for the North Pacific. The hemispheric difference is due to the 
fact that most of the atmospheric nuclear tests were in the northern hemisphere.

Figure 6 shows contoured sections of the D 14C distribution along the cruise 
track. The "A" portion shows the upper kilometer of the section and "B" the 
remainder of the water column. 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). Figure 7 shows the same data as Figure 
6A except the section is plotted in potential density (s q ) - latitude space. 
For this section, the maximum D 14C concentration was found at or very near the 
surface. The most interesting feature is the wedge of relatively young water in 
the deep center portion of Figure 6B. The same sort of structure is present in 
silicate and is assumed to be due to leakage through topography.

          File contained here is a CRUISE SUMMARY and NOT sumfile. Documentation 
          is online.

          2000.10.11 KJU
          Files were found in incoming directory under whp_reports. This 
          directory was zipped, files were separated and placed under proper 
          cruise. All of them are sum files.

11/10/97  Key         DELC14        Final Data Rcvd @ WHPO 
          Today I uploaded C-14 data and the final C-14 data report for WOCE 
          Pacific leg P14C. The report was sent in 3 different formats: 
          FrameMaker document file, MIF, and a postscript version.  If you can 
          not use any of these formats, I can translate to wordperfect with some 
          minor losses. The data was sent as comma separated, flat ascii and 
          includes only station, cast, bottle, c14, c14error and c14flag. This 
          leg is now "final" with respect to C-14. The preliminary data report 
          for these numbers was issued 7/28/97, so the official release data for 
          these values will be 7/28/99 unless published prior to that date.

          - Merged CFC11/12 sent by Mark Warner (email below) into current p14c 
              bottle file.
          - Obtained bottle file from WHPO website. 
          - Used SDiggs' "driver.pl and warner.pl" code to reformat cfc values.
          - Used DNewton's code "mrgsea" to add cfc columns and data into 
              existing bottle file.
          - Ran wocecvt to check format.  No errors.
          - Ran maskhyd to add date/name stamp.
          - Replaced original bottle file on website with new file filename is 
              p14chy.txt, and moved old file to 'original' subdirectory with 
              filename containing date replaced.
          
04/14/00  Key         DELC14        Data are Public 
          As of 3/2000 the 2 year clock expired on the last of the Pacific Ocean 
          C14 data (P10).  All Pacific Ocean WOCE C-14 data should be made 
          public. 
          
04/19/00  Bartolacci  DELC14        Website Updated
          P14C  Changed to indicate data are at WHPO but not in WOCE format 
          (RAW) and therefore not yet merged.
          
06/16/00  Kozyr       TCARBN         Submitted  
          No other carbon measurements available.  The P14C Section was a 
          problematic Section for CO2 measurements. Only surface measurements 
          were made on 51 stations and only one parameter (TCO2). I am not 
          considering to publish NDP for this cruise, but you can use the final 
          TCO2 data (attached) that are public and final.
          
06/20/00  Bartolacci  PCO2          Submitted; not merged into hyd file
          values are surface values and may not correspond to any

          Notes on merging C14 into p14c bottle file.
              files in this directory:
          p14c.c14.data.txt 
              file sent (by Key?) on 1997.11.10  no documenation found.  
                 Contains only stations with valid values.
              Moved to subdirectory 'old'.
          P14C.C14.txt
              file sent (by Key) on 1998.03.08. contains stations missing value.
          P14C.C14.hqx
              binhex'd version of above
          - As per S. Diggs P14C.C14.txt was used to merge c14, c14er and 
              associated flag.
          - Used current bottle file p14chy.txt to merge values into.
          - Used perl script conv_key.pl to convert comma separated values to 
              something mrgsea can ingest
          - Used D. Newton's mrgsea to merge DelC14, C14ERR, and flag.
          - Ran wocecvt on output file p14chy_delc14_c14er.txt, with no errors.
          - renamed file and replaced current bottle file with new merged file.
          - moved old p14chy.txt to original and renamed to indicate it was
              replaced.
          
07/12/00  Bartolacci  DELC14        Website Updated; files merged/online  
          Bottle: (delc14, c14err, qualt1, qualt2)
          C14 and C14er was merged into P14C bottle file. Current bottle file 
          was replaced with newly merged file and all table references were 
          edited to reflect this change.

11/13/00  Anderson    TRITUM        Reformatted by WHPO 
          I have put the Jenkins tritium data into WOCE format.  There were no 
          quality codes so I set the TRITUM to 2.
          
01/30/01  Stuart      DELC13        Submitted

02/26/01  Jenkins     TRITUM        Data are Public; may require minor revisions
          It was brought to my attention that the WOCE Pacic/Indian He-Tr data 
          was  not as yet made public. After submitting it to you last year, I 
          had intended on going through it one more time to ensure there were no 
          problems with it. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to do this. 
          Is it possible, therefore, to release it as public data, and if there 
          are any subsequent minor revisions, to make changes? I suspect there 
          might be a few samples in the set that might have got through our 
          initial quality control.
          
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
          
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.
