   Peltzer, Edward T. (1993).  Shipboard determination of total organic carbon by
     a high temperature combustion/direct injection technique.  U.S. Joint Global
     Ocean Flux Study - Equatorial Pacific Protocols, 1993, section 21A.
 
   The EqPac methods were followed explicity on the Arabian Sea Process cruises
     with two exceptions:
 
        1. For Process cruises 1, 2 and 4, the WHOI custom built HTC/DI-TOC
           analyzer was used.  For Process cruises 6 and 7, the BBSR custom
           built HTC/DI-TOC analyzer was used.
 
        2. Low carbon water (LCW) prepared using a commercial Milli-Q UV/TOC (R)
           system was used to measure the instrument blank as opposed to the
           carbon free distilled water (CFDW) that was used in EqPac.  For all
           legs, the LCW was assigned a background TOC value of 0 uMC.
