Quick Reference for CTD CODAS Databases

## 1. DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes how to create CODAS databases from CTD data files and bottle samples, with emphasis on the instrumentation at GFI.

## 2. LOADING CTD DATA

The following input format with corresponding utilities are implemented:

- NODC (see load_ctd(1))
- WOHI (see load_ctd(1))
- WOCE (see load_ctd(1))
- C78 (see load_ctd(1))
- SBE (see load_sbe(1))
- ODF (see load_odf(1))

Post-processed CTD SeaSoar data acquired with xacq on M/S Hâkon Mosby are in C78 format. To load processed CTD data aquired with SeaBird's SEASOFT package, use scan_sbe(1) and load_sbe(1). The former is used to check the syntax in header files for use in the latter.

## 3. LOADING BOTTLE SAMPLES

Loading bottle samples can be performed with load_btl(1) and load_sbe(1). For bottle samples acquired with with SeaBird's SEASOFT package, use load_sbe(1).
