Description:
*Data files: ec-70xx.chm - ec-75xx.chm

*Format: Station data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.

*Ship name: Marea or Palamida (RMRI, Constantza, Romania).

*Expedition: Monthly cruises between 1970 and 1975, 1 transect
with 5 stations, east of Constantza, sampling at the standard depths.

*Parameters: Temperature (deg. C), salinity (ppt), density (Sig-t),
dissolved oxygen (uM), phosphates (uM), silicates (uM).

*Instruments and methods: Nansen bottles with reversible thermometers,
dissolved oxygen by standard Winkler titration, salinity by Mohr-Knudsen
method, phosphates and silicates by methods given in "A Practical handbook  
of sea water analysis" by J.D.H.Strikland & T.S Parsons 1968, 1972, using
a colorimeter Spekol Karl Zeiss-Jena.

*Accuracy: 0.01 degC for temperature, 5uM for oxygen, 0.02ppt for salinity,
0.08uM for phosphates and 0.1uM for silicates.

*Format: Station data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.

*Ship name: Marea, Palamida  (RMRI, Constantza, Romania).

*Expedition: Monthly cruises between 1972 and 1980, 1 transect
with 5 stations, east of Constantza, sampling at the standard depths.

sedimentary method (Morozova - Vodianitskaya 1948, Utermohl method variant);
microscope counting of algae species cells, from subsamples of the
0.5 -1.0 liter samples; biomass estimation trough multiplying numerical
density with species average weight.

*Data files: ec-70xx.sec - ec-75xx.sec

*Format: Header data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.

*Ship name: Marea or Palamida (RMRI, Constantza, Romania).

*Expedition: Monthly cruises between 1970 and 1975, 1 transect
with 5 stations, east of Constantza, sampling at the standard depths.

*Parameters: Date (year, month, day), time (hour, minute), latitude
(degrees, minutes), longitude (degrees, minutes), water depth (m),
station name, Secchi depth (m), air temperature (deg. C).
