This weeks DECODR updates:

• added two cols to the sta.csv format for DIC & TA, changing the format from 82 to 84 cols. DECODR can handle both versions of the sta.csv, using TO_DO in either col 82 or 84 to distinguish the two formats. Fixed a glitch that added two commas to the end of the 82 col sta.csv - 82 or 84 test failed initially in the respacer reformat routine.


• fine-tuned some glitches with interpolated standard level bottle data calculations ie missing data on OSLs


• fine-tuned NH4 datacoded "4"


• fine-tuned 14C assimilation prodo precision & column alignment for values < 1 in ieh data product


• fixed the data report txt to html header - it was cutting off the sta decimal value (49. instead of 49.0)


• wrote a new module that combines sta.csvs with DIC bottles for importing into Access and generating DIC Data Reports


• fixed the 200/500 dynamic height extrapolation module so values on shallow station would calculate properly. Solution was inverting the format from deep to shallow to shallow to deep (sta.csv vs ieh format difference).

The sta.csvs, generated by CESL during sample drawing on the cruise, were 82-cols wide. DIC & TA values are now added to the sta.csvs in cols 80 & 81 with DIC bottle # in col 79, generating a new 84-col sta.csv format. This will integrate the DIC data with other bottle data and allow inclusion of those values into data products such as the hydrographic database or data reports.

Under the CSV tab, there is a module to generate a merged DIC stations csv with all cast depths and DIC bottle #'s for the point-checking database. The csv can be sent directly to Dickson's DIC analytical lab for data import/key-entry. Or imported into the point-checking database where the DIC Report query will generate forms for Dickson's analysts with the bottle data formatted.
