m115gir.dat (File 7)

This file provides the hydrographic and total CO₂ data sampled from Girard barrels during R/V Meteor Cruise 11/5. Each line consists of a station number, girard bottle number, pressure (depth), temperature, salinity, total CO₂, potential temperature, and potential density. The file is sorted by station number and pressure and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in girarbot.for (File 6)]:

       
            INTEGER  STAT, BOTTLE
            REAL PRES, TEMP, SALTY, TCO2, THETA, SIGMA0
            OPEN (unit=5, file='m115gir.dat')
            OPEN (unit=2, file='m115gira.dat')
     
            READ (5, 10,end=999) STAT, BOTTLE, PRES, TEMP, SALTY, TCO2,
          1 THETA, SIGMA0
      10    FORMAT (1X,I3,1X,I4,1X,F6.1,1X,F8.3,3X,F6.3,1X,F6.1,1X,F8.3,
          1 1X,F8.3)
        

Stated in tabular form, the contents include the following:

Variable	Variable type	Variable width	Starting column	Ending column
STAT	Numeric	3	2	4
BOTTLE	Numeric	4	7	10
PRES	Numeric	6	13	18
TEMP	Numeric	8	21	28
SALTY	Numeric	6	32	37
TCO2	Numeric	6	40	45
THETA	Numeric	8	48	55
SIGMA	Numeric	8	58	65

where

STAT - is the station number;

BOTTLE - is the bottle number;

PRES - is the CTD pressure (dbar);

TEMP - is the CTD temperature (^oC);

SALTY - is the bottle salinity (on the PSS);

TCO2 - is the total carbon dioxide concentration (µ mol/kg);

THETA - is the potential temperature (^oC);

SIGMA0 - is the potential density (in sigma units at 0 dbar);
