2002/05/01 Bartolacci, D. BTL/SUM/CFC/He/Tr Update Needed n/a New BOT and SUM from Blindheim are excel and need converting to WOCE.

Detailed Notes
New file is missing CCL4 that previous BOT had and CFC flags. New HE/TR file sent by Bayer needs merging or is possibly already in Blindheims new BOT. Need to email Blindheim to straighten out problems and for PUB status (currently all NONPUB). Email Blindheim for file clarification and PUB status. Rfmt files and create exchg.

2001/04/26 Bartolacci, D. CO2 Data Request Yes See Note:

Detailed Notes
It sounds like it would be better for us to have the measurements you took rather than the poorer quality values contained within the C14 data file we received. May we obtain the DIC values from you at this time?

2001/04/24 Olafsson, J. CO2 Update Needed Yes See Note:

Detailed Notes
I have looked at the DIC data and it is clear that they are not from our work in Nordic WOCE 1992 and 1994. The data you sent me seems to be from the work of Dr Reidar Nydal who participated in the cruises. His team carried out DIC by vaccuum extraction onboard. I have seen his results from the 1992 cruise in a technical report dated 1995 where the results were 0.010 mmol/kg higher than in your message.

I have some DIC data from the two 1994 stations you list made by coulometric measuremenmts, quality controlled with Dickson CRMs. The agreement with the data you have is poor, differences are both +ve and -ve and amount to several 0.010 mmol/kg.

2001/04/11 Olafsson, J. CO2 Update Needed No Data needs correction

Detailed Notes
I was on these two cruises and have data on pCO2 and TIC from them. I did not measure pH or C14. If Johann has sent you data from me then it is from from my submission to him a good while ago. In that case a correction is required. I suggest that you send the files (SEA and SUM) you have received from Johann Blindheim. I can then inspect the pCO2 and TIC data and inform you if and which corrections are required.

2001/04/05 Bayer, R. He/Tr No Data Submitted n/a See Note for list of all submissions:

Detailed Notes
I am wondering, whether the latter submission ever was acknowledged and the data was further processed by WHPO. In case of the cruises with Johan Hjort you mentioned in your email request, there were in deed several inquiries by WHPO staff maybe in 1999 or 2000. As our activities in oceanography were shut down with the end of WOCE in 1999 I cannot further do any work on this data sets. If re-submission of our WOCE tracer data as specified in the ftp.log file
is desired please supply detailed instructions how to do this, by then I may relocate the files from 1998 and may send them just as they are.

2001/04/03 Blindheim, J. He/Tr Data Update Yes Data Public, See Note Re: he/tr

Detailed Notes
I return to your e-mail of 31 March 01 and my promise of returning to the helium/tritium data. I have now contacted Dr Reinhold Bayer at University Heidelberg and understand that he has already sent the Helium/tritium data to you. He also writes that last week he was contacted by you when you acknowledged the receipt of his data from AR18 for the 1992 and 1994 cruises.

My message is that the helium tritium data you received from me via James Crease are unknown to me. I can not identify them and I can not imagine how they have come into that file. You should use the data you received from Dr Bayer and erase the whole file from 1994 which you received via James Crease.

All dat from AR18 may be made public.

Sincerely
Johan Blindheim

Detailed Notes
58JH0894. Please do not use the file I sent to James Crease. I have now clearified that this was a file where we applied a correction procedure recommended by Seabird, which they later admitted were not as good as the final one we used. So, keep the file you have received from WHPO.

As to the Helium/tritium data, I must admit I was a bit surpriced to see them in the file. What I remember is that the people at Heidelberg wanted to submitt them directly. Anyhow I must have received them somehow, but as I was not by that time aware that I should be asked about this all these years later, I did not write a a complete log of everything. Therefore I do not dare say now that the helium/tritium data in the SEA file I sent to Jim Crease are good. I shall send my file to heidelberg to get them checked and then let you know.

I attach the C14 data from the two profiles we collected in 1994. I have finally received them myself.

For CO2 data from 1994, the status is as for 1992.

Finally, use the files you received from WHPO, not those from Jim Crease.

Sincerely, Johan Blindheim

2001/03/30 Bartolacci, D. CFCs/He/Tr/CTDSAL Clarification Request No To Johan Blindheim; See Note:

Detailed Notes
Jim Crease forwarded on to us new data files for 58JH1092, and 58JH0894, as well as the emails containing the status of outstanding data and their contacts. I'd like to clarify what we received with you just to make sure we now have everything that is available.

58JH0894: The new bottle file sent by Jim has helium and tritium data in addition to the parameters we currently have. Our current online file contains CCL4, which the new file does not. CFC values at first glance appear to agree with values in our current bottle file, however the new file has no quality flags for the CFC values. Also, CTD salinity values differ between files. As I understand from your letter to Jim, there were only two stations of C14, and they are being looked into. Can you please instruct us as to how to handle this new bottle file? We can use the new file as an entire replacement to our current bottle file and merge in the old CCL4, but it is unclear what to do with the new CFC values which do not have flags. Can you please advise? And finally, can these new data be made public?

2001/03/29 Bartolacci, D. He/Tr Request to make Public No To Dr. Bayer/UH

Detailed Notes
The WHP office has received helium and tritium data for two repeat WOCE cruises: WOCE line AR18, expocodes 58JH1092_1 (during July of 1992) and 58JH0894_1 (during July-August of 1994). Our documentation lists you as the PI for the data for both cruises. At present we have no information on the public status of these data and are hoping you can help. May we release these data to the public at this time?

Detailed Notes
The He/tr and C-14 data are still with the PIs. I have been in contact with Prof Nydal (now retired) about the C-14 data and he promised to mail them to you. It is only two profiles. I hope that Dr. Bayer at the University of Heidelberg also will be able to provide the He/Tr data.

1999/10/08 Bayer, R. He/Tr Submitted Yes See Note:

Detailed Notes
As I indicated last week the situation here has not changed and the data available will not be modified any more. Again attached, I send s set of 114 tritium/helium data from the AR18 repeat cruise in 1994 and the summary file for all the WOCE cruises where we did tracer sampling.

This week Johan Blindheim showed me a data file from the 1994 Johan Hjort cruise which included a much higher number of helium/tritium data we ever measured. Also, the few data points I checked were pure nonsense. Please use the data I attach here once more!

I just mentioned no quality flags are included for the single data points. The reason is that the few questionable data points were erased (and are not available any more) before this file was edited. So - the quality of all our data listed is "good". This is what I finally can do with respect to the 1994 AR18 cruise.

1999/10/01 Bayer, R. He/Tr Submitted Yes Needs reformatting

Detailed Notes
By email from September 29 you requested information about tracer data collected during the AR18 cruise of Johan Hjort in 1994.

In deed a member of the department of tracer oceanography of our institute (which does not exist any longer) took part in this cruise and collected only a few samples for analyses of tritium and helium isotopes. The sampling was focused on the characterization of overflow water masses and does not meet the sampling scheme usual for WOCE cruises. So only 114 sets of tritium/helium data are available, which were not reported to the WHPO so far. You will find this data attached to this message and I hope you can use it as it is.

The error of each measurement is indicated. The people who analyzed the samples and evaluated the data did not specify any quality flags, but usually the quality of our tracer data is (very) good. The name of the attached data file is 58JH894.txt, columns are specified in the header and separated by TabStops. 3He is reported in the delta notation which gives the per cent deviation of the samples 3He/4He ratio from that of atmospheric air (which is 1.384E-6).

By the way, I also add a summary file (SUM-WHPO.txt) of all the WOCE tracer data processed in Heidelberg. As you will see, most of this data has been reported to the WHPO (via INTERNET) in 1998. We never received an acknowledgement for the submission, and I have the feeling something may have failed. Maybe you can check this? Please come back to me if resubmission is required or if further questions arise.

All our data submitted is free and may be used by the scientific community working with WOCE data.

Sincerely, Reinhold Bayer
