*Format: station data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.

*Ship (station) name:  R/V Mikhail Lomonosov (MHI, Ukraine).

*Expedition: Cruise number 30, April 1976 - August 1976.

*Parameters: temperature and salinity, dissolved oxygen(ml/l), 
inorganic phosphates, silicates, nitrates(, nitrites, pH, alkalinity.

*Instruments and methods: temperature and salinity were measured by 
the CTD-probe ISTOK-3 and with Nansen Bottles and reversing thermometers, 
dissolved oxygen was determined by the Winkler's method, methods of Murphy 
and Riley was used to determine inorganic phosphates and silicates, 
method of Griess-Ilosvay was used to determine nitrites, pH-meters "pH-262" 
and "pH-340" were used to determine pH values. 

*Accuracy:  

*Processing (if applied):

*Principal investigator(s): temperature and salinity - O.M. Belyakova,
chemical parameters - E.V. Smirnov (MHI, Ukraine).

*Digitization: single entry at the MHI (Sevastopol, Ukraine).

*Remarks: see the complete descriptions of methods and formats in the
supplied file MHI_data.txt.

*Completed by: L. Galkovskaya (MHI, Ukraine).

*Date:1.06.2000.
