Description

SO-GasEx Final Nutrient data collected from Niskin bottles of CTD casts

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

See: SO-GasEx cruise report, Section 5.7.7 ppgs 50-52

Nutrient data collected from Niskin bottles of CTD casts from SOGasEx cruise,
Feb-April 2008 aboard RV Ron Brown.

Id in this file represents the CTD station number followed by a 0 and the cast number
and then followed by the niskin number. e.g. Stat-samp 10101 is CTD station 1, cast 1 and niskin 1.

PO4, Sil, NO3+NO2, NO2, NO3 and NH4 are concentrations of phosphate, silicate,
nitrate plus nitrite, nitrite, nitrate and ammonium in micromole per kg seawater.

Flags following each nutrient column indicate data quality.
Flag = 2 means good;
Flag = 3 means questionable;
Flag = 4 means bad;
Flag = 9 means no data.
'No data' is written as 'nd'.

At station 33 water samples were collected via pump and hose.
Salinity values were taken from station 31 and the depths are in meters.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
- Generated from original file gasex_08.data-final 2010.xls

BCO-DMO Edits
- event, station, date, time, lon, lat inserted from CTD headers file
- '-99' (No data flag in original) changed to 'nd'
- decimal places padded to 1 or 2 places as appropriate for consistency
- parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
