The newest version of the Pacific GOCS12 tar file is PGOCS12v3.tar.Z. This version has 14 new cruises.
13 are from PACIFICA and the last is Feely's cruise along the west coast of the U.S. The last is
included mostly for selfish reasons, but Niki may also find it useful for some of his continuing
"off-California" work. The tar file includes the "normal" figures + 2 new ones for pH.
We're still waiting on a correction table for PACIFICA. Once I get such, it will probably take me
1-2 days (work time) to import, modify software and produce a new version of PGOCS12. If the
Japanese don't make PACIFICA, I can do that in about a week of work (requires a lot more calculations,
machine to machine transfers, QC, etc.)
The file now contains 3794 stations with 188309 samples (if anyone cares). These additions don't help
much except for the NW Pac. I made no attempt to construct a time series here, but that is rather easy
with PACIFICA is one wants. Rather I tried to get representative cruises and increase areal coverage.
This file also includes pH_TOT (pH on the total H+ scale) and the reporting temperature for same. This
means that it is not column compatible with the other oceans or with earlier versions. If this is more
trouble than it's worth, let me know. I did it because a fair number of the PACIFICA cruises did not have Alk.
