Dataset description

SOIREE DIC CTD Data
Note: DIC CTD data are final, except for station 1168!!!!!

DICrun1 and DICrun2: DIC values using a running mean over the
Dickson values for the actual (3x), preceding (1x) and succeeding cell
(1x). The DIC values using the running mean for the Dickson values
have a better reproducibility for duplicate samples than, if we use the
Dickson value for each cell.

Replicate DIC samples from the CTD:
The average difference between duplicates from the CTD
With running mean of Dickson value:
mean = 2.7 umol/kg, stdev = 2.5 umol/kg, n = 18

BCO-DMO Edits
- parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- blank lines removed
- Station Number changed to station
- added 'T' to CTD Station number for compatibility with events in other spreadsheets
- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- date, time. Lat, lon added from SOIREE_CTD_at_Bottle_Trip_Data_FINAL.xls
- CTD data recs with no data in any fields deleted from file
- 'NaN' changed to 'nd'
