tun1.dat (File 5)

This file provides hydrographic, CO2, and chemical data for the 123 stations occupied during the R/V Thomas Washington TUNES-1 Expedition. Each record contains a station number, cast number, sample number, bottle number, CTD pressure, CTD temperature, CTD salinity, CTD oxygen, potential temperature, bottle salinity, bottle oxygen, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, CFC-11, CFC-12, Δ14C, 14C error, TCO2, TALK, and data-quality flags. The file is sorted by station number and pressure and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code (contained in tun1dat.for (File 3):

ctdsala  -  is the CTD salinity (on the practical salinity scale);
ctdoxya  -  is the CTD oxygen concentration (µmol/kg);
theta  -  is the potential temperature (°C);
sala  -  is the bottle salinity;
oxya  -  is the bottle oxygen concentration (µmol/kg);
silcaa  -  is the silicate concentration (µmol/kg);
nitrata  -  is the nitrate concentration (µmol/kg);
nitrita  -  is the nitrite concentration (µmol/kg);

qualt  -  is a 14-digit character variable that contains data-quality flag codes for parameters underlined with asterisks (*) in the output file.

aVariables that are underlined with asterisks in the data file to indicate they have data-quality flags. Data-quality flags are defined as follows:

1  =  sample for this measurement was drawn from water bottle but results of analyses were not received;
2  =  acceptable measurement;
3  =  questionable measurement;
4  =  bad measurement;
5  =  not reported;
6  =  mean of replicate measurements;
7  =  manual chromatographic peak measurement;
8  =  irregular digital chromatographic peak integration;
9  =  sample was not drawn for this measurement from this bottle.
