1. Partial bias correction for the XCTD salinity profile The correction value, +0.0455, was added to the XCTD salinity profile, 1191T101.XCT, for depths deeper than 1037 dbar to correct the XCTD salinity bias. 2. Bias correction for the XCTD salinity profiles The following values were added to the XCTD salinity profiles to correct the XCTD salinity biases. 119007A2.XCT -0.0072 11910202.XCT 0.0031 11910211.XCT 0.0301 119102A1.XCT 0.0192 11910302.XCT 0.0034 11910303.XCT -0.0242 11910402.XCT Correction value was not estimated. 11910403.XCT -0.0211 11910502.XCT -0.0071 11910601.XCT Correction value was not estimated. 11910602.XCT -0.0069 11910702.XCT 0.0108 11910802.XCT -0.0003 11910902.XCT 0.0002 11911002.XCT -0.0042 11911102.XCT -0.0569 11911202.XCT -0.0034 11911302.XCT 0.0164 11911303.XCT Correction value was not estimated. 11911402.XCT 0.0022 11911403.XCT -0.0262 11912002.XCT 0.0230 11912102.XCT 0.0059 1191T011.XCT Correction value was not estimated. 1191T021.XCT Correction value was not estimated. 1191T031.XCT 0.0297 1191T041.XCT 0.0037 1191T051.XCT 0.0127 1191T061.XCT -0.0082 1191T071.XCT 0.0005 1191T081.XCT -0.0032 1191T091.XCT 0.0238 1191T101.XCT 0.0034 1191T111.XCT -0.0042 1191T121.XCT -0.0097 1191T131.XCT -0.0130 1191T141.XCT 0.0149 1191T151.XCT -0.0152 1191T161.XCT 0.0068 1191T171.XCT -0.0001 1191T181.XCT -0.0071 3. Correction for the XCTD salinity profiles The XCTD salinity profiles of 11910303.XCT and 11910403.XCT were corrected by using the following equation: S_corrected = S_original - (c0 + c1 * t) c0 = 0.0944189579409846 c1 = -0.00669637999581451 where t is temperature (degC) and c0 and c1 are the correction coefficients.
