# 11/21/07 Initialized README file 
# Data from T.Tanhua (12/20/06) and R.Steinfeldt (12/15/06) 
# Ship: Meteor 
# Cruise: 59/2; Experiment SFB 460 
# Dates: 7/23-8/29/2003 
# EXPOCODE: 06MT20030723 
# Region: Subpolar North Atlantic: Reykjavik, Iceland to St. Johns, Canada 
# Ch. Sci. Monika Rhein; Univ. Bremen, Inst. .Env. Phys., Dpt Oceanogr.  
# 131 stations; 24 place Rosette 
# Hydro: Who - M. Rhein; Status - final 
# 	Notes: 	Updated values from R.Steinfeldt 1/23/08 
# 		ea-Bird 911 plus 
# 		Temperature (ITS-90), accuracy 0.003C 
# 		Salinity (PSS-78), accuracy 0.003 
# 		Bottle salinity: measured with Guildline Autosal 8400 A,  
# 		precision 0.001; standard seawater: batches P139 and P141 
# 		See Kieke et al. 2007 
# Nuts/O2: Who - F. Malien; Status - final 
# 	Notes: Oxygen by  Winkler titration. Precision estimate from replicates (95 % confidence interval) +/- 0.51 umol/kg. 
# 	Nutrients: Precision about 1%. Precision from duplicates: 
# 		0.205 +/- 0.09 umol/kg for NO3,  
# 		0.005 umol/kg for NO2, 
# 		0.025 +/- 0.013 umol/kg for PO4, 
# 		0.5 +/- 0.06 umol/kg for SiO2. 
# TCO2: Who - T. Tanhua; Status - final 
# 	Notes: Coulometric titration [Johnson et al., 1993].  
# 	CRM corrected from 3 batches (batch # 56, 58 and 60). Mean offset was 0.02 +/- 1.48 umol/kg (95% confidence interval, n = 129).  
# 	Precision of the measurements was 1.2 umol/kg (95% confidence interval), as determined from analyses of 120 duplicate samples. 
# TA: Who - ; Status - final 
# 	Notes: Potentiometric titration [Mintrop et al., 2000]. 
# 	CRM corrected from 4 batches (batch # 56, 58 and 60). Mean difference was 0.02 +/- 1.93 umol kg-1  (n=116).  
# 	Precision 2.3 umol kg-1, determined from measurements of 119 duplicate samples, but general scatter of ~5umol/kg. Difficult to QC. 
# pH: Who - ; Status - final   
# 	Notes: Spectrophotometric method (DOE, 1994), Originally reported on total H scale @ 21.0C.  
# 	Precision  +/- 0.002 pH units. A drift in the response to CRMs was corrected. 
# 	Converted to SWS@25C 
# CFC: Who - M. Rhein; Status - final

# 	CFC-12: SIO-93 scale, accuracy 1.5%, minimum error 0.03 pmol/kg 
# 	See Rhein et al. 2007. 
# 	Converted to SIO-98 scale 11/21/08
