Summary

The Numeric Data Package, NDP-066, provides measurements total carbon
dioxide (TCO2) and total alkalinity (TALK) at hydrographic stations,
as well as the underway partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) during the R/V
Meteor Cruise 22/5 in the South Atlantic Ocean (Section
A10). Conducted as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment
(WOCE), the cruise began ... in Rio de Janeiro on December 27, 1992, and
ended after 36 days at sea in Capetown, South Africa, on January 31,
1993. Measurements made along WOCE Section A10 included pressure,
temperature, and salinity [measured by conductivity, temperature, and
depth (CTD) sensor], bottle salinity, bottle oxygen, phosphate,
nitrate, nitrite, silicate, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC-11, CFC-12),
TCO2, TALK, and underway pCO2.

The R/V Meteor Cruise 22/5 data set is available free of charge as a
numeric data package (NDP) from the Carbon Dioxide Information
Analysis Center. The NDP consists of three oceanographic data files,
three FORTRAN 77 data-retrieval routines, a documentation file, and
this printed documentation, which describes the contents and format of
all files as well as the procedures and methods used to obtain the
data. Instructions on how to access the data are provided.

This data set was prepared by Alexander Kozyr of CDIAC, Oak Ridge, TN.

Quality

[From Data Checks and Processing Performed by CDIAC]
An important part of the NDP process at the Carbon Dioxide Information
Analysis Center (CDIAC) involves the quality assurance (QA) of data
before distribution. Data received at CDIAC are rarely in a condition
that would permit immediate distribution, regardless of the source. To
guarantee data of the ... highest possible quality, CDIAC conducts
extensive QA reviews that involve examining the data for completeness,
reasonableness, and accuracy. Although they have common objectives,
these reviews are tailored to each data set, often requiring extensive
programming efforts. In short, the QA process is a critical component
in the value-added concept of supplying accurate, usable data for
researchers.
