    Input  data file used:
    CCS$CHEM:[JPAGE.DATA.STNP._PRIMARY]NUTRTCO2CHLA-ALLP-WS-MS-70-21c.dat


    Contents:
    Cast data from Weathership program
    using ships Vancouver & 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 Nansen samplers
    Salinity
    - Collected in Nansen samplers
    Dissolved Oxygen
    - Collected in Nansen samplers
    Reactive Nutrients (Phosphate, nitrate, silicate)
    - Collected in Van Dorn samplers (productivity casts) or
    Nansen bottles (hydrographic casts). Surface nitrates were
    collected via a loop line.

    Sample analysis methods:
    Sea Water Temp
    -  Shipboard reading of reversing thermometers
    Salinity
    - Samples were analyzed partly at sea and partly ashore using a
    Bissett-Berman Model 6220 salinometer.
    Dissolved Oxygen
    - Shipboard analysis- modified Winkler method (Strickland and Parsons, 1968)
    Nutrients
    - Samples were both analyzed fresh and frozen for later analysis on shore.
