All data files in this archive are provided in netCDF format. For your convenience, read files in C, with an accompanying Makefile (see below), are included. There are also many software packages freely available or licensed with utilities to access the data in netCDF-formatted files. You can find a comprehensive list of these software packages at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html

Data File Descriptions

There are seven sets of data for this project.

The ADCP data are located in three files, kh9907_ladcp_cdf, rr9906_ladcp_cdf, and rr9906_sadcp_cdf, all of which can be read with read_adcp.c The files contain latitude, longitude, as well as profiles of depth, zonal and meridional currents.

The HNR07 cruise data were taken in June and July, 1999. There are both ctd data and hydrographic data. The ctd data are in files with names such as hnro7_*ctd.nc and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. These files can be read with read_hnro7_ctd.c. The hydrographic data in files with names such as hnro7_*hy1.nc can be read with read_hnro7_hy1.c and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, bottle salinity, oxygen, theta, bottle oxygen, silicate, nitrate, and phosphate.

The KH36 cruise data were taken in July and August, 1999. There are both ctd data and hydrographic data. The ctd data are in files with names such as kh36_*ctd.nc and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. These files can be read with read_kh36_ctd.c. The hydrographic data in files with names such as kh36_*hy1.nc can be read with read_kh36_hy1.c and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, bottle salinity, oxygen, theta, bottle oxygen, silicate, nitrate, phosphate, freon_11, freon_12, freon_113, alkalinity and ph.

The KH38 cruise data were taken in February and March, 2000. There are both ctd data and hydrographic data. The ctd data are in files with names such as kh38_*ctd.nc and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. These files can be read with read_kh38_ctd.c. The hydrographic data in files with names such as kh38_*hy1.nc can be read with read_kh38_hy1.c and contain pressure, temperature, salinity, bottle salinity, oxygen, theta, bottle oxygen, silicate, nitrate, and phosphate.
