Subject: Re: Wilkes Land CTD data Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 01:50:17 -0400 From: Ricardo Locarnini To: "Theodore D. Foster (858) 822-2478" Hello Ted, Sincere thanks for the CTD data for the 1985 Wilkes Land Expedition you forwarded me. I got the data from our ftp site, and I have requested, from the Data Officers, a NODC ID catalog number for this submission. As soon as one is assigned, I will let you know of it. By the way, great news about the excellent medical report you received on Friday. Very nice to hear such good news. Coming back to the Wilkes Land Expedition, yes, I remember reading the associated Keir et al. ms. - as well as your ms. in DSR. Whenever you get hold of the bottle data, they will be most welcome. About the CTD data you just submitted, I have already done a preliminary conversion to our format, and your excellent documentation and archiving of the data have made everything simple. There are a few details that I would like to correct before archiving the data, and I would like to know your opinion on them. 1) Attached is a Cruise Summary for the CTD data. There are a few stations for which the reported day seems to be wrong, as they produce originator's station numbers jumps and very large ship speed between "consecutive" stations. I think the days in the header of the indicated stations must be changed as follows, w85010.f: Change day = 16 to day = 15, w85011.f: Change day = 16 to day = 15, w85030.f: Change day = 18 to day = 19, w85055.f: Change day = 23 to day = 24, w85060.f: Change day = 24 to day = 25. 2) The station number in the header of file w85042.f appears as 1; it probably should be changed to 42. 3) Files w85063.f and y63001.f are identical - only one of them will be archived. I would sincerely appreciate if you can review this guesses and let me know what you think about them. Best wishes, Ricardo -- Ricardo A.
