# Problems/Changes related to NMFS data, R.A. Locarnini, 26 July 2005 This documents issues found during routine data processing for inclusion into the World Ocean database (added by H. Garcia 05 Nov 2008). 1. digit.f expected depths to tenths and temperatures to hundredths. Digitized data have depths to integers and temperatures to tenths. digit.f was edited. 2. digit.f had the wrong position for Cloud Type, 27 instead of 44. Code digit.f was edited. 2.a. digit.f is not properly converting atmospheric barometric pressure and depth of correction. 2.b. digit.f is not properly converting the code for Depth Units. 2.c. digit.f is not properly converting depth precision. CD02 SUMMARY: 2056 BT profiles; 2 good Q not in MBT file; 56 bad Q in slides and not in MBT file; 1998 already in MBT file, a significant portion w/ met data. 3.
