Data Set Description:

NOAA Ship Discoverer
Carbon Monoxide data
Reduced and Compiled by NOAA-PMEL
Version 1, 30 August 1996
Jim Johnson

This dataset contains carbon monoxide measurements (gas chromatograph
GC based system) collected aboard the NOAA R/V Discoverer.

Format: comma-delimited ASCII file.

DATE UTC (YYYY/MM/DD)
TIME UTC (HH:MM:SS)

JD (DOY) - Julian Decimal Date (Day of Year)
The data are compiled in six hour averages. The time is given as decimal
day of year (DOY) such that DOY 32.5 is 12 noon UTC on February 1.  The
time given is from the center of the six hour period.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) (ppb)
CO was measured with a GC based system.  The system made 2 air
measurements every 35 minutes.  The system also measured CO from a
seawater equilibrator, and from 2 gas standards.  The standards have
been calibrated to standards maintained by NOAA CMDL.

The data were cleaned and averaged into 6 hour averages.  6 hour
intervals with no CO data are tagged with a -99.
