# This file initialized 4/6/07
# Data from Rios 4/9/07 and 4/9/07
# Ship: Hesperides
# Cruise: 29HE091, FICARAM VI
# Dates: 4/8-4/24/2003
# EXPOCODE: 29HE20030408
# Region: ~24N, very sparse section from 65W to 20W then to Gibralter
# Chief Scientist: A. Rios
# 7 full depth stations; with 24 place Rosette
# Hydro: Who - A. Rios; Status - final
# Notes:
# Nuts/O2: Who - C.Castro; Status - final
# Notes: estimated O2 error of +/-1umol/kg
# Nutrients frozen prior to analysis. Estimated errors:
# +/-0.05 umol/kg for nitrate
# +/-0.05 umol/kg for silicic acid
# +/-0.01 umol/kg for phosphate
# Methods see: Hansen and Grasshoff (1983),
# Mourino and Fraga, 1985; Alvarez-Salgado et al., 1992
# TCO2: Who - R. Wanninkhof; Status - final
# Notes: file only has a few samples measured ashore for check
# TA: Who - A. Rios; Status - final
# Notes: potentiometric titrations with hydrochloric acid to
# a final pH of 4.40 (Perez and Fraga, 1987).
# The electrodes were standardised using a buffer of
# pH 4.42 made in CO2 free seawater (Perez et al., 2000)
# CRM batch 54 analysis implied uncertainty of +/-0.7 umol kg-1
# fCO2: Who - A. Rios; Status - final
# Notes: surface water only
# pH: Who - A. Rios; Status - final; S Plus - up to date
# Notes: SWS@25C
# spectrophotometrically following Clayton and Byrne (1993)
# CRM batch 54 analysis implied uncertainty of 0.0002
