 Additional comments

 Contents:
 Cast data from Weathership program using ships C.C.G.S."Vancouver" &
 C.C.G.S. "Quadra" from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada to Ocean Weather Station P
 [50N x 145W].
 Data incl SWT,SAL,O2,NO3

 Sample collection methods:
 Sea Water Temp
 -  reversing thermometers mounted on Reversing Bottle samplers
 Salinity
 - Collected in Reversing Bottle samplers
 Dissolved Oxygen
 - Collected in Reversing Bottle samplers
 Reactive Nutrients (nitrate)
 - Collected in Reversing Bottle samplers

 Sample analysis methods:
 Sea Water Temp
 -  Shipboard reading of reversing thermometers. The accuracy of protected
 reversing thermometers is believed to be +-0.02 deg C.
 Salinity
 - Shipboard analysis with a Bissett-Berman laboratory Salinometer model 6220.
 Accuracy using duplicate determinations is estimated to be +-0.003 ppt.
 Dissolved Oxygen
 - Shipboard analysis - modified Winkler method (strickland and Parsons, 1965).
 The data are the means of duplicate determinations, and have an expected
 accuracy of +-0.03 mL/L.
 Reactive Nutrients (nitrate)
 - Shipboard analysis - see reference manual by Strickland 1958a, 1958b
