From: Nico Lange , Masao Ishii Nov 30, 2018, 9:13 AM to: Are, Robert, me, Maren, Masao Hi all, attached you can find most of the promised files for the GLODAPv2020 database. The zip file "all_cruises_original" contains three sub-folders: 'v2018', 'v2019' and v2010 all 'updated' - All files are in the state I received them, either from you Bob, from CCHDO or directly from the PI (e.g. in the case of JMA cruises) without any modifications applied. The second zip-file "all_cruises_new" contains the same folders and cruises. However, these have been made consistent so that the excread.m routine runs without any problems for all files (as described below by Are). "Consistency_check_files" is an excel sheet describing the changes in a general form, i.e. not for each cruise individually. We (Maren) is still working on a nice log-file which reports all applied changes in a comprehensive and readable manner - as soon as she is ready you will also receive that file. A simple list of all cruises which have been altered will then also be included. Considering the extra headers in the updated files: I already talked about it with Maren and we/she can write those extra lines for each modified file. But before we do so I would like to know which changes (all?) will be submitted and hence need to be documented. E.g. do we also need to put a comment if "END_DATA,,,," has been changed to "END_DATA"? Thanks for your help. Best, Nico and Masao. Attachments: Cruise_files_new.zip
