Hydrographic section

Description

This is line A03 (ExpoCode 90CT40_1, with nominal sampling date 1993-09-11). The chief scientist was Tereschenkov of SOI, working aboard the Russian ship Multanovsky, undertaking a westward transect from the Mediterranean outflow region across to North America, with a change of heading in the last few dozen stations to run across the nominal Gulf Stream axis. The data flags follow the WHP CTD convention, i.e. 1 for uncalibrated, 2 for an acceptable measurement, 3 for a questionable measurement, 4 for a bad measurement, etc; see https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/woce/woce_v3/wocedata_1/whp/exchange/exchange_format_desc.htm for further details.
