*Format: station CTD data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.
*Ship (station) name: R/V Bilim (IMS-METU, Turkey).
*Expedition: March 1995.
*Parameters: Depth, temperature, salinity, fluoresence, transparency.
*Instruments and methods: Seabird Electronics (SBE) CTD probe with additonal
fluorometer and transmissiometer and deck unit was used with a wire winch from
the rear of the vessel.
*Accuracy: Not applicable since the instruments are not periodically
calibrated (precision is one part in ten thousand).
*Processing (if applied): Data are averaged with respect to one meter
depth bins and converted to ASCII.
*Principal investigator(s): Umit Unluata (IMS-METU, Turkey).
*Digitization: On board of the ship via deck unit under the responsibility of
the principal investigator. Processing applied at IMS-METU under responsibility
of the department of Physical Oceanography.
*Remarks: Data are reliable due to quality of the instrumentation and precise
acquisition.
*Completed by: Sinan Husrevoglu (IMS-METU, Turkey).
*Date: 25.06.1996.
*Source of data: IMS-METU.

*Expedition: March 1995.
*Parameters: Depth, hydrogen sulfide, phosphate, nitrite, silicate,
chlorophyll, DOW, nitrite+nitrate, pH, Alkalinity.
*Instruments and methods: -Hydrogen sulfide is determined by iodometric back
titration.
