FILE DESCRIPTION
THIS IS A CTD DATA SET OBTAINED WITHIN A JAPANESE WOCE RELATED RESEARCH 
PROJECT PROMOTED BY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCY.  CTD SECTIONS ALONG
130E AND 7.5N OFF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS WERE CONDUCTED UNDER THE COOPERATIVE
STUDY BETWEEN JAPAN MARINE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER (JAMSTEC) AND
SANYO TECHNOMARINE INC.  THE CRUISE WAS NOT COMMITTED ON THE LIST
OF WOCE HYDROGRAPHIC PROGRAMME PLANNED ACTIVITIES.  HOWEVER, IT MAY
GREATLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE WHP REPEAT HYDROGRAPHY.

OBSERVATION PERIOD
FM JAN 4, 1991  TO JAN 12, 1991

OBSERVATION AREA
SECTION ALONG 130E FROM 4N TO 18N
SECTION ALONG 7.5N FROM 127E TO 134E
SEE THE STATION LIST IN THE FILE 'STNLIST.TXT' OF THIS DISK.

CTD INSTRUMENTS
SEA BIRD MODEL 9

CALIBRATION
P, T AND C SENSORS WERE CALIBRATED IN THE LABORATORY BEFORE AND AFTER
THE CRUISE.  BUT COMPARISON WITH THE BOTTLE SAMPLED WATER WAS MADE 
ONLY FOR THE SURFACE T AND S.

DATA PROCESSING
AFTER FILTERING OUT THE EXTREMELY LARGE OR SMALL VALUES, AVERAGED 
TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY VALUES WERE CALCULATED FOR EVERY ONE DECIBAR
WITH A SIMPLE AVERAGING PROCESS.
FOR EXAMPLE, T(A DBAR) WILL BE GIVEN BY THE SIMPLE AVERAGE VALUE OF ALL
OF THE RELIABLE TEMPERATURE VALEUS WHICH SATISFY THE CONDITION FOR
THE PRESSURE VALUE SUCH AS  (A-0.5) <= P < (A+0.5) .

DATA FORMAT
ALL OF THE PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY DATA ARE READABLE WITH
THE FORMAT AS FOLLOWS;
    READ(*,10) PRESSURE,Q1,TEMPERATURE,Q2,SALINITY,Q3
 10 FORMAT(F8.2,A1,F7.4,A1,F7.4,A1)
WHERE Q1, Q2 AND Q3 ARE FOR USE OF QUALITY FLAGS, THAT ARE NOT USED
IN THIS DATA SET.
