CONTENT OF THE ARCHIVES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0. CTD_Amundsen_2016_leg1_README.txt
   This file.

1. Logbook_1601.xlsm
   Corrected field logbook.

2. 1601_int.zip
   The data in ascii.

3. 1601_ODV.txt
   All the data in ODV (Ocean Data View) format.
   We added the column "Depth [m]" derived from the pressure data to be able to
   create sections with bottom depth.

4. 1601_casts.kml
   Cast location map for Google Earth.


   CTD data are also available on demand in ODF format (ascii format with full
   resolution). The data are processed, controlled but not averaged. All the
   data are kept unchanged. Associated flags indicate the quality of the data.
   ODF represents a high volume of data and is less convenient.


MISCELLANEOUS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Data are processed, controlled and 0.2 db averaged from the downcast section.
   Please read the processing notes (to come) to have the complete description
   of the processing sequence and the quality control.

   The following parameters Dens, svan, N2, sigt, theta, sigthe, FreezT, ASAL,
   CONT, D_CT and D0CT have been computed from the averaged data
   (i.e. pressure, temperature and salinity).

   The nitrate and oxygen data have been cross-checked and optimized from
   field samples.

   The Brunt-Vaisala frequency (N2) has been calculated in a leap-frog fashion:
   i.e. with the data (potential density) from the previous and following
   depths;

   Parameters (ASAL, CONT, D_CT and D0CT) are provided and computed with the
   new standard TE0S-10 which should replace the old EOS-80. For instance, the
   absolute salinity (ASAL) with units of g/kg must replace the traditional
   Practical salinity.
