Detailed Notes
Tritium, helium, delhe3 and error values have been merged into the current online bottle file. wocecvt was run with no errors. exchange and netcdf files have been created as well as bottle inventory file. All previous files were renamed and moved to original directory.

Merging notes for A23 HE/TR:

Obtained original bottle file from a23 parent directory.

Obtained A23 helium and tritium data (sent by B. Klein) zip file sent by Klein by way of S. Diggs. Parameters merged were TRITIUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, and flags where given.

Used mrgsea for merging all parameters, no errors were encountered. Final output file is called outputTRHEHE2.txt this file was edited to include updated date/name stamp and renamed a23hy_finalWOCE.txt. wocecvt was run on a23hy_finalWOCE.TXT with no errors produced.

Exchange bottle file created. NetCDF bottle file creation failed; must consult S. Diggs.

All previous online files were replaced with newly merged versions and this action was RCS'd. A copy of these notes were sent to J. Kappa.

2001/12/06 Talley, L. PHSPHT Update Needed Yes Suspect Phosphate value, see note:

Detailed Notes
I was just plotting up property sections from A23, and found a big bullseye in phosphate at station 86, bottle 13, 1702 dbar: value is 3.59 (highest on the whole section, and makes a bullseye in the section with lots of extra contours).

I don't see any quality flag for it, or a comment in the doc file (although I read through that a little too quickly perhaps).

Have you noted this and possibly either flagged it or removed it from your data sets? I think it should be flagged in the WHP data set, but I think we really need your input before we can flag it in the QUALT1 field, where I think the flag should be (since it may be years and years if ever before there are qualt2 flags).

There isn't any corresponding feature in nitrate, which makes it even more suspect.

I've put my section plot in ftp gyre.ucsd.edu cd nonpub/talley/a23

thanks very much for your attention!

2001/11/29 Millard, R. CTD DQE Report rcvd @ WHPO n/a See Note:

Detailed Notes
I hope it's possible to get an extension on my DQE contract. The current funds didn't arrive until late June 2001. I've finished or nearly finished checking over & writing up 3 of the 5 datasets we talked about QCing- (A13 (submitted) , A14, & A23). Cruise A17 is 2 legs with 235 stations & will take more time. Between X-mas holidays & a vacation in mid-Jan., I probably can not finish A17 until sometime in late Feb. 2002. Are there any more datasets to be QCed? I may have a little time available for DQEing one more cruise with money remaining.

TRITUM and HELIUM - NEON ISOTOPE DATA DOCUMENTATION
JCR10
WHP A23

The data was aquired by
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Roether

Format of the File jcr10.woc
--------------------------------
1 station number
2 cast number
3 bottle number
4 Tritium [TU]
5 Tritium error [TU]
6 Helium [nmol/kg]
7 Helium error [nmol/kg]
8 delta He3 [%]
9 delta He3 error [%]
10 Neon [nmol/kg]
11 Neon error [nmol/kg]
12 quality

The position in the qualitynumber refers to:
1 Tritium
2 Helium
3 delta He3
4 Neon

The quality flags are set according to WOCE standards:
1 Sample drawn, but not measured
2 acceptable measurement
3 questionable measurement
4 bad measurement
5 not reported
6 mean of duplicates
9 sample not drawn

1) Helium-Neon Isotope Data:
------------------------------
responsible for measurement and data processing:

Christine Rueth

Samples were taken in the usual manner with pinched- off copper tubes. After the gas extraktion in Bremen they were measured in the Laboratory with a dedicated Helium - Neon Isotope Mass Spectrometer.

All samples were calibrated using an air standard (regular air) in the Bremen laboratory.

The samples are corrected for tritium decay during storage time, using the tritium concentration measured in the tritium samples.

Data quality:
The realtive errors for the measured properties can be given as

Helium: 0.38 %
Neon: 0.31 %
He3/He4: 0.27 %

These errors were estimated using 10 pairs and one set of 5 duplicates.

2) Tritium Data
----------------
responsible for measurement and data processing:

Juergen Sueltenfuss

errors of measurements: 5mTU oder 2% (what ever is greater)

Detailed Notes
D. Muus merged the following newer values from B. Klein TRITIUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, NEON & NEONER.

New bottle data online, exchange file pending.

A23 merging notes August 2, 2001, D. Muus

1. TRITUM, TRITER, HELIUM, HELIER, DELHE3, DELHER, NEON & NEONER from /usr/export/html-public/data/onetime/atlantic/a23/original/ 1999.03.18_A23_HE.TR/1999.03.18_a23_he.tr.data, dated Mar 16, 2000, were merged into the A23 bottle file on the web (20010328WHPOSIOKJU)

2. Parameter numbers for DELHE3 (11) & NEON (17) were added to the summary file on the web (20010328WHPOSIOKJU). Parameter number 9 (TRITUM) deleted from Station 24 since no tritium reported.

Also: a) Summary file has no COR DEPTH. Corrected bottom depths are included in the Chief Scientist's cruise report in the DOC section.
b) Comments appear incomplete or use unexplained abreviations.
e.g. Station 2 "I,CFC BOTTLE BLANKS"
Station 3 "T,START SECTION"
Station 6 "T"
Station 10 "IT,CAST 1 FAILED"
Station 124 "I"
Station 128 "I,LAST CTD in SECTION"
"I" probably means "Irradiance buoy deployed"
"T" probably means "Trace metals sampled"

3. TRITUM, HELIUM, DELHE3 & NEON data given for following stations, casts, and bottles not in web bottle file:

Detailed Notes
It is now 4 years since A23 and our PhD students are beginning to finish their theses and think about writing papers. Brian King and I would therefore like to put the A23 data set into the public domain i.e. unpassworded.

This applies to the physical data, nuts/oxys, he/trit. However I have not had the go-ahead from Andy Watson yet to release the CFC and carbon tet data, so until you hear from him these should remain encryted please.
