 PI:              Frank Millero, Dan O'Sullivan, Univ. of Miami
 dataset:         Total carbon dioxide, total alkalinity and pH
 project/cruise:  Arabian Sea/TTN-053 - Process cruise 6
 ship:            R/V Thomas Thompson
 
 Caution:  The depth, temp and salinity contained in this data set (as
 submitted by the PI) were extracted from the preliminary version of the
 bottle data and are reported here to show what was used in calculating to
 gravametric units.  The final version of bottle data are reported by
 Lou Codispoti.
