Description:
*Data file(s): 6402.dat...6427.dat, 6429.dat...6432.dat, 6434.dat...6436.dat,
6500.dat...6523.dat.

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

*Ship (station) name: R/V Bilim (IMS-METU, Turkey).

*Expedition: September 1986.

*Parameters: Depth, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen.

*Instruments and methods: Seabird Electronics (SBE) CTD probe with additonal
oxygen sensor 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.

*Data file(s): chem.dat

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

*Ship (station) name: R/V Bilim (IMS-METU, Turkey).

*Expedition: September 1986.

*Parameters: Depth, hydrogen sulfide, phosphate, chlorophyll, humic matter,
DOP, nitrite+nitrate, pH.

*Instruments and methods: -Hydrogen sulfide is determined by iodometric back
titration.
-Phosphate and nitrite+nitrate are determined by the Technicon
Autoanalyzer.
-Chlorophyll and humic matter are determined by spectrophotometric and
fluorimetric methods.
-DOP is obtained through the sensor on the CTD probe.
-pH is determined by the pH-meter.

*Accuracy: Error is applicable for pH and is approximately 0.05.

*Processing (if applied): None.

*Principal investigator(s):  Ozden Basturk (IMS-METU, Turkey).

*Digitization: Single-key entry at IMS-METU under supervision of Ozden
Basturk (IMS-METU).

*Remarks: Data are reliable in the sense of qualified staff and
instrumentation, however no error bounds or intercalibrations are present.

*Completed by: Sinan Husrevoglu (IMS-METU, Turkey).

*Date: 25.06.1996.

*Source of data: IMS-METU.

*Parameters: Depth, TSS, SW/Hg, SW/PH, COD.

*Instruments and methods: Known volume (i.e. 1-2 liter) of water is
filtered through GF/C filter papers and dried for weighing for the
determination of TSS.

*Accuracy:

*Processing (if applied):
