Description

Beginning with the first Bay cruise in January 1996, DOC data was no longer to be reported; however, AMQAW requested that the DOC data generated since the beginning of the program be scrutinized and that 1.) a factor be found, if possible, to improve the comparability of the data, 2.) the affect of salinity on DOC measurements, in general, be assessed, 3.) a DOC procedure be recommended for future DOC work so that future DOC data will be in closer agreement .
