Detailed Notes
Dear Drs. Bullister, Gruber, and Johnson,

The recent repeat of A16N is part of the US Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program. The WHPO is funded to make all data from these surveys available to the public in and timely manner. Thus we request the submission of all available data, including but not limited to:

- summary station information
- bottle data files
- ctd station files
- documentation

This request can easily be fulfilled by receiving your permission to obtain the data from SIO/ODF systems analyst Frank Delahoyde. We also request your specific approval to make these data public on our website. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Detailed Notes
CTD has been converted to exchange using the new code and put online. SUmfile has a station 11 cast 2 and CTDs have a file for a station 11 cast 1 only. For this reason and for the purpose of the conversion, the 2 was made a 1 to allow for the code to work.

Detailed Notes
The current online sumfile has been replaced with the newly reformatted sumfile, completed by
S. Anderson on 2000.11.03.

The following changes were made as per the notes.a16n readme accompanying the file:
• Reformatted to conform with the accepted WHPO format.
• Latitude and longitude minutes were xx.x changed to xx.x0.
• Station 11 - .sum had cast 1, .hyd had cast 2. Changed .sum to cast 2 per data report (SIO ref. 91-16).

All references have been updated to reflect this change.

NOTES:
Merging process started jointly between DMB and SRA. Merging completed by SRA.

A16Ncfc.dat - removed first four lines of data. Edited file called
A16Ncfc_edt.dat

A16Ncfc_edt.dat - Swapped columns 2 (samp) and 3 (cast) for mrgsea to merge
data. Removed cast number "2" from sample numbers (eg. sample
#01 was called 201, not same nomenclature as hyd file) on
stations 11, 61, 62, 63, 65 (all cast 2).
2000.10.14 SRA

a16nhy_rplcd_2000.08.15.txt - this is outdated working bottle data file. Moved
into original dir and replace with
current bottle data file containing cfc's.
2000.08.15 SRA
*** Ran ~danie/tools/wocecvt on updated bottle file. (2000.08.15 SRA)
*** NOTE: SANBORN bottle data file and CFC data file both had data for
station 11 cast 02, but WHOI .sum file only listed station 11
cast 01 (no cast 02). Will leave as is and document.

2000/03/13 Sandborn, K. BTL Update Needed Yes See notes:

Detailed Notes
Because of the problems that were found in the distribution of OCEANUS 202 on the WHPO site, I am proposing to send John Bullister the data transmittal file that ODF has in it's archives. I have reformatted the file to be similar to the WHP format.
Differences are:
CTDTMP ODF file is to 3 decimal places
THETA ODF file is to 3 decimal places
SALNTY ODF file is to 3 decimal place
QUALTI ODF file has no coding

Is this any problem?

I believe my solution will assist John and not hold up his data submission. I had reviewed the WHPO data file with ODF data file and was at a point that I could easily have added the bottle numbers. I opted not to do that because of the pressure differences. If it is not a problem that the temperature and salinity are reported to thousandths and someone at WHPO must add the data coding, then all is good. I tried to download the "raw" data files and create a WHP format report. Unfortunately, some of the archive tapes were unreadable.

Listed below are problems that I found in the WHPO file.

1. The pressures in the WHPO file are off by ~5db at ~4000db. The pressures are also reported to tenths, the current transmittal file reports the pressure to whole values.
>> I was able to cut and paste in the pressures to tenths from an ODF file.

2. Theta is calculated to 4 decimal places. ODF's current file is to 3 decimal places.

3. The oxygen and nutrients do not match ODF files. It appears that WHPO converted liter units to kilograms and this accounts for the difference.

4. There are added levels, one at the bottom evidentally from the CTD data. Some stations have extra levels also appears to be from the CTD that are not in ODF's current data set.
>>I was able to add these extra levels from an ODF file.

5. The WHPO file has lost part of Station 122 and all of Stations 123-129.
>> These are in the file sent to John.

6. It appears that the data on the WHPO was from an older distribution of the data. Fortunately, it appears that there were no major changes in the data that is archived by ODF other than the added levels. Unfortunately, the conversion from depth to pressure was done incorrectly and the conversion from liters to kilograms resulted in differences. This conversion resulted in data that was reasonable unlike pressure.

Detailed Notes
I don't see the file anywhere. I had a subset of my 9-track tapes read off several years ago, but none of them have the A16 (MCTT) documentation and so I suspect it is on one of the existing 9-tracks, which we no longer can read since there is no equipment here to do it. so it will have to be typed or scanned in.
