2003/07/11 Bartolacci, D. BTL Website Updated Yes New BTL file with correct alkalinity and carbon parameters

Detailed Notes
After recommendation from A. Kozyr to edit specific flags for alkalinity and carbon parameters, a new file was sent by Kozyr containing these corrected flags. This new bottle file was checked then used to generate new exchange and netcdf files.

New files were tested with JOA and placed online. Old files were renamed and moved to the original directory.

2003/07/11 Kozyr, A. CTD Update Needed Yes Stations and flags need updating, see note:

Detailed Notes
The CTD oxygen of station No.1 should be changed all to -9.00, as we do not have flags for it anymore, otherwise they would make no sense. Could you change all ALKALI and TCARBN flags were no data was measured from "1" to "9". In the following instances the flag "4" should be changed to "5": sta-cast-sample

2003/07/01 Bartolacci, D. CTDSAL Website Updated Yes Q1 flags removed

Detailed Notes
As per Alex Kozyr and Jim Swift, I have removed the Q1 flags associated with CTD salinity and oxygen. Previously, these bytes were set to "1&" with no DQE information available or pending. Asterisks were also removed from the appropriate headers. All files were regenerated, format tested and placed online.

As per Alex Kozyr's inquiry regarding the the Q1 flags for CTD salinity and oxygen (they were both set to "1" in the bottle file), I have reformatted the bottle file at Jim Swift's request.

-Removed the Q1 bytes for CTD salinity and oxygen. Removed the asterisks under the headers corresponding to these values.

-Reran wocecvt with no errors

-Added name/date stamp.

-Regenerated exchange, netCDF and inventory files with no errors produced.

-loaded files into JOA with no errors.

-replaced all current files, moved old files to original directory.

-RCS'd this action.

2003/06/24 Bartolacci, D. NUTs Data Update Yes RE: NUTs conversion question

Detailed Notes
The problem is that the chief scientist has never submitted a documentation file, and even he wasn't the one who eventually submitted data, I think it was a colleague (Ruth Curry). We've never had any luck corresponding with McCartney, should I try Curry, you think? As it stands now, we don't know who the nutrient group is/was.

2003/06/24 Swift, J. NUTs Data Update Yes RE: NUTs conversion question

Detailed Notes
This sounds like the units may be really as advertised, but as you know we must be VERY careful with nutrients units because there is only a 3% numerical difference betwen volume and mass units. It is worthwhile to look at the documentation and contact the original nutrient group to have them look at the data and verify that the units are a correct match for the numbers. If this cannot be done, go ahead and make the conversions.

2003/06/24 Bartolacci, D. NUTs Update Needed Yes Questions about converting nutrients

Detailed Notes
RE: ar24_a Bottle file contains all nutrients in UMOL/L and O2 in ML/L. We've never heard from Mike McCartney on any questions regarding the files and Ruth Curry was the one who offered help on reformatting although it wasn't her cruise.

I recall just using a piece of code from Sarilee for converting CTD oxygens, but is there something for converting bottle oxygens too? and what should I do about the nutrient units? It converted to exchange with the current precision and units, should I put up what we have right now?

2003/06/23 Bartolacci, D. BTL Website Updated Yes BTL units updated using cvuwoce

Detailed Notes
After consultation with ODF (Kristin Sanborn) the units of the bottle file were converted using cvuwoce, a program from Sarilee Anderson. All units were converted to WOCE standard input file was ar24_ahy.txt output file was named ar24_ahy_newunits.txt.

-Ran wocecvt on new file with no errors.
-Added new name/date stamp and copied file to parent directory renamed as ar24_ahy.txt.
-This file was used to regenerate all exchange and netCDF files.
-Checked files with JOA.
-All online files were replaced.
-Sent notes to Jerry and RCS'd the action.

RE: bottle file: It just needed minor adjusting, but we were waiting for the Chief Scientist's word on how to handle bottle nos. In his place, a collegue had given instructions on how to number the bottles and said confirmation (along with a cruise documentation) would be coming from McCartney soon. It never came. So, I used Ruth Curry's advice and formatted the file. I'll have it up tomorrow if not tonight.

It was brought to our attention that the bottle file for this cruise was never completely reformatted. This was because we never heard from McCartney the Chief Scientist. However we did recieve directions on reformatting from Ruth Curry for this bottle file. McCartney was supposed to follow up. This has not happened and neither Curry nor McCartney have sent a doc file as of this date. I have reformatted the bottle file according to Curry's instructions.

**NOTE** All values for oxygen are in ML/L and all values for nutrients are in UMOL/L at this time. No conversions have been performed during reformatting.

-Concatenated all 3 ".sea" files together. (s1t60.sea, s61t131.sea, s131t190.sea) new file called ar24_allstns.sea which was copied to ar24_ahy.txt.
-Added WHF to bottle file numbers for stations 1-60 to match all other stations' bottle file numbers.
-Realigned the SILCAT data column.
-Changed all parameter units to uppercase.
-Changed expocode from 31KN47 to 316N147_2 to match sumfile.
-Added name/date stamp.
-Ran wocecvt with no errors.
-Created exchange and netCDF files and checked files in JOA. No apparent errors were produced.
-Created bottle file inventory file with no apparent errors.
-placed all new files on line and regenerated web pages.

RE: AR24 (316N147_2). It seems as though there are three bottle files, the last update of these came in as tar archives. There's some confusion about the station numbers and how these files should be concatenated.

Until Danie returns, I'm a little reticent to just put these out online. I don't have her notes handy, but I do know that she'll be back in her office this time next Wednesday (6/16). If it can't wait until then, I can send you what we have. As is, of course.
