PI: Jan Newton/James Murray
dataset: CTD Fluorometric chlorophyll a and total phaeopigment
project/cruise: EQPAC/TT007
ship: Thomas Thompson
PI note: Due to chlorophyll degradation by the acetone (reagent grade,
in cans) the data for the following CTD casts have been deleted
from the file: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, 23, 25, 30, 33, 35, 37 and 38.
