A.3 Narrative

A.3.a Introduction. The winter survey of the Japan/East Sea on the Professor Khromov (Figure 1) was designed to sample the anticipated regions of water mass transformation, and complements the summer cruises which covered the same region as well as the Japanese sector and Ulleung Basin.

A principal goal of the winter survey was to observe the maximum density and depth of winter ventilation. Two separate processes were hypothesized: open ocean convection and brine rejection through sea ice formation. Historical hydrographic data suggests that ventilation reaching the bottom (>3500 m) has not occurred since at least the 1930s. However, there is ample tracer evidence of ventilation to intermediate depth. Intermediate depth convection, as far as we know, had not been reported and possibly not observed.

The winter-time atmospheric pattern that is most important for convection is the cold air outbreaks in which cold Siberian air funnels past Vladivostok out across Peter the Great Bay and then southward out into the JES. Winter 99-00 was probably a season of especially strong cold air outbreaks. (A comparison with other years is underway.)

Sea ice forms in Tatar Strait, down along the Russian coastline, and in Peter the Great Bay (at Vladivostok). The sea ice extent in late February, 2000 at the start of the cruise is shown in Figure 2 from the National Ice Center (NOAA). The winter of 1999-2000 was a year for especially heavy ice, compared with the preceding three years, and anecdotally. A comparison with the historical record is underway. Since the ocean circulation is cyclonic north of the subpolar front, with the Liman current flowing southward along the Russian coast, it was expected to find outflow from the ice formation heading westward along the coast.

In the previous winter (April, 1999) a Russian cruise on the Gordienko (Lobanov, chief scientist) observed dense water in pockets on the shelf in Peter the Great Bay and down along the slope, suggesting flow down canyons on the shelf, turning westward.

A.3.b. Winter conditions prior to the Professor Khromov winter survey. Just prior to the winter,2000 survey, we assessed the most likely locations for convection. Vertical temperature and salinity profiles from the profiling floats were accessed from Steve Riser's webpage. Satellite AVHRR images were accessed from three sources: the Pacific Oceanological Institute in Vladivostok (Lobanov), Bob Arnone's webpage, and KORDI.

The floats profile to 800 meters depth. Two floats (numbers 230 and 262) of the total of about 38 showed nearly uniform properties to 800 m in February (Figure 3). Float 230 began record well-mixed water in mid-January, south of Peter the Great Bay. As it was advected southward, the profiles remained well mixed until the end of February. The actual numbers are not yet available to us, and so we cannot judge how well mixed the water was, but in February it appeared to be nearly uniform in temperature to the 800 m maximum depth of the profiles. Just at the beginning of March, the time of the Khromov survey, the JES warmed prematurely compared with previous years (based on satellite SST images); float 230 then began recording increasingly stratified water. Float 262, in the same region as 230, also showed nearly mixed water throughout February.

Two floats (258 and 223) in Tatar Strait (northern JES) also showed relatively mixed water in February, but did not show layers deeper than about 300 m (based on subjectively leafing through the profiles on the webpage).

SST images from the JES in February, 2000, ( Figure 4a from Bob Arnone at NRL) showed a large, warm, anticyclonic eddy centered at about 41N, 131E, with a diameter of about 100 km. Just east of the warm eddy was the location of the profiling floats showing well-mixed water. Surface temperatures in this region were cold, and contiguous with cold waters to the north. By the time of the hydrographic survey, the warm portion of the eddy had spread eastward, with an eastern edge around 132E ( Figure 4b also from Bob Arnone at NRL). This eddy is a common feature of this region.

Sea ice just at the start of the cruise (Figure 2) was at its maximum extent for the winter, and was at a somewhat greater extent than in the previous several years. A sudden warming occurred at the beginning of March, and by the next week, when the Khromov entered the ice-covered areas, most of the ice had melted; none was encountered.

A.3.c Winter cruise and evidence of ventilation. The Khromov sailed from Pusan, Korea on February 28, 2000, for a three day shakedown cruise of 10 stations in the Ulleung Basin, after which the American and Korean participants disembarked in Pusan. The Khromov then completed a 13-day survey of the central and northern JES, with 71 stations (Figure 1). At each station, the CTD/transmissometer/24-bottle rosette package was deployed. An altimeter on the rosette frame allowed each station to be occupied to within 10 meters of the ocean bottom. Two separate rosettes were used on the cruise - a large package (24 10-liter bottles and CTD) deployed from the fantail, and a small package (24 1.7-liter bottles and CTD) deployed from the port side. The smaller package was used during rough weather (stations 31-48).

The weather was calm during the shakedown cruise. During the main cruise, very rough weather was encountered several times. Air temperatures dropped well below freezing, causing difficulties with rosette sampling at several stations, particularly since it was necessary to use the rosette with the small volume bottles at these stations.

Evidence of winter ventilation was obtained at three sites:
(1) intermediate depth (~1000 m) convection east of the warm eddy, at the location of the most well-mixed profiles observed by the floats in February and southernmost penetration of cold SST,
(2) mixing to 360 m in the northern Japan Sea,
(3) shelf water on the continental slope just south of Peter the Great Bay.
These are discussed sequentially in the next paragraphs.

(1) Intermediate depth open ocean convection was evident in oxygen, temperature and salinity profiles at four stations south of Vladivostok, near 41N, 132E (stations 18, 19 and 23). Station 23 (41 0'N, 132 20'E) showed the deepest penetration of oxygen saturation greater than 80% (Figure 5), suggesting that convection had reached to about 1040 dbar. A vertical section of oxygen along 131E, with a deviation through station 23, also shows the depth of this high oxygen layer (Figure 6). Despite the location of several stations in the region that was being sampled by the profiling floats 230 and 262, only this station showed penetration of high oxygen to greater than 800 m. The temperature and salinity structure at station 23 includes two separate layers that could have been well-mixed. Oxygen saturation at station 23 (and also adjoining stations 20 and 21) is quite low at the sea surface, at about 90%, and then relatively homogeneous below dropping to 80% only below 1100 m. The low surface saturations could be a signature of vigorous vertical mixing. The only other station in the survey with low surface oxygen was station 34, in the open sea south of Vladivostok.

The history of the profiling floats, the relatively low surface oxygen saturation, the depth of penetration of surface oxygen values, and the relative homogeneity of properties in two thick layers at station 23 suggest that convection occurred to about 1100 m depth in February in this region. The disappearance of coldest SST in this region at the end of February, and the lack of observation of truly homogeneous temperature/salinity, suggests that collapse of the homogeneous layer in the absence of continued forcing was very rapid, on the order of less than one or two weeks.

The implied maximum density of surface convection at station 23 is 27.329 sigma theta, 32.034 sigma 1, although the data are not yet well calibrated.

(2) In the northern Japan Sea, just east of the Liman Current and winter ice edge, a well-mixed surface layer of 360 m thickness was found (station 61 at 42 58'N, 135 39'E - Figure 7), with oxygen saturation greater than 90% ( Figure 5 ). This station was near the location of profiling floats that showed relatively uniform surface layers of about this depth in February. No other stations had mixed layers (in temperature) this deep although many stations in the region showed 200 m thick mixed layers.

Based on oxygen saturation, there is an axis of winter mixed layers of 250 to perhaps 400 meters thick just offshore of the 3000 meter isobath. Station 61 fits within this group, as does station 34 and 33, both of which showed relatively deep high oxygen layers. These depths differ considerably from the apparent deep overturn to 1100 m described in (1).

(3) High oxygen saturation is found on the bottom at two stations (30 and 31 - Figure 5) on the continental slope just south of Peter the Great Bay ( Figure 1b). The station depths were 600 and 1400 meters. The high oxygen subsurface layers were about 200-300 meters thick. These layers likely originate from the shelf based on similar observations in April, 1999. The oxygen layer at the deeper station is not highly saturated and in fact fits well with the curve of higher saturations from the intermediate convection stations. This leaves open the possibility that this ventilated water originates from offshore convection and that the vertical profile is a composite of older and newly-ventilated waters, with the newest water found at the bottom.

CTD#5: CTD #5 has dual temperature/conductivity sensors mounted on twin turrets - two identical temperature channels and two identical conductivity channels. CTD sensors were soaked in distilled water between all casts. The T1C1 pair of sensors was used for shipboard processing. The T2C2 pair was used for final processing (section B.1.b below).

Bottles: 10L Bullister style SIO manufactured. Bottles serial numbered 1-24 corresponded to the pylon tripping sequence 1-24 with the first bottle tripped being bottle #1. Bottles serial numbered 1-24 were used on all casts.

Oxygen and transmissometer were interfaced with the CTD and incorporated into the CTD data stream.

No reversing thermometers, no pinger.

B.1.b CTD final calibrations: Mary Johnson (SIO/ODF) (10 June 2005)

General comments: These KH38 CTD data are final. All interpolated/extrapolated data are quality-coded 6 and documented in "kh38CTD_Cmmts" (Appendix A). Oxygen corrections are from a preliminary pass over the data and fits have not been optimized. CTD oxygen data have been included as a courtesy: they are reported and coded 1 (uncalibrated), or NOT reported and coded 5 (for casts where there was a known problem with the sensor, noted in "kh38CTD_Cmmts" in Appendix A).

Despiked/offset or interpolated/extrapolated data are quality coded 7 or 6, respectively, in the data files. A preliminary WOCE ".sum" file was generated from a positions file that came off the ship with the data. No further checking/editing was done, other than to add the "HT ABOVE BOTTOM" values that were already machine-readable.

CTD-1 was used for the stations 9 and 31-48. CTD-5 (with dual T/C sensors) was used for the remainder of the stations 1-81. Downcast data were used for all but 9 casts for final pressure-series data; exceptions are noted in the file "kh38CTD_Cmmts" (Appendix B).

The CTD-5 secondary T/C sensors were used as the "better" pair; both sensor pairs had problems with noise and offsets. There was only one conductivity sensor on CTD-1, so the primary T/C sensors were used for those data. Calibrated pressure-series CTD data appear to be consistent from cast-to-cast, on overlays of deep theta-salinity profiles plus surface salinity and sigma theta plots vs. pressure. Most bottle salinity data are fairly well centered over the CTD data on the deep theta-salinity plots. A few bottle salinity values need to be quality-coded 3; they were ignored while determining final CTD conductivity corrections.

Calibration specifics:

CTD#5 (stations 1-8, 10-30, 49-81)

Pressure Sensor s/n 77017 (Paine):

P Calibs:

Jan. 2000 - 0.14/15.25 deg.C bath to 6080/1191 db

Apr. 2000 - -1.32/16.61 deg.C bath to 6080/1191 db

cold cal: shifted +0.1(dn),+0.25(up)/+0.3-.4/+0.5 db 0db/mid-range/4000db

from pre- to post-cruise calibration

warm cal: shifted -0.5-.4/-0.3-0/+0.2 top 1000db/mid-range/bottom

Correction used: average pre-/post-cruise cold calibrations and warm calibrations (pre-cruise significantly smoother, but slope changed).

Temperature Sensor s/n 17534 (Rosemount PRT) ("T2"):

T Calibs: Jan. 2000/Apr. 2000

+0.0029/+0.0017/+0.0014/+0.0023 at -1.5/3.5/8.5/15.5 deg.C

from pre- to post-cruise calibration

Correction used: equally weighted Jan. + Apr. 2000 Tcals (same #pts at each level, same # of levels) - then averaged, calculated second-order fit of differences to raw T. (Not possible to tell when +0.0015 to +0.003 deg.C correction shift occurred; averaging two calibrations should put all temperature values within +/-0.0015 deg.C error range.)

Conductivity Sensor s/n O24 (GO) ("C2"):

Calibrated to bottle salts taken during cruise.

1. Checked dC(C) fits for all bottle differences/all CTD-5 stations together; determined first-order dC(C) fit worked best to optimize corrections for deeper data points. Some cast-to-cast shifts noted, as well as a few stations with more "flyer" differences than others. The first few stations (CTD-5) had much larger CTD offsets from cast to cast on deep theta-salinity plots using the same conductivity slope/offset for all casts. Deep bottle data were fairly consistent for these same early casts.

2. First-order dC(C) fits with a (4,2) std.dev. rejection were generated for each cast from Bottle-CTD Cond. differences, then the slopes were compared (disregarding any offset differences). Stations with a conductivity range < 2 mS/cm or with a disproportionate number of "flyers" in high-gradient areas were omitted for the next step.

3. The slopes from step 2 were smoothed in 2 groups: a first-order fit through the slopes for stations 1-30 , as a function of station number (time), was determined, then applied as smoothed/slowly decreasing dC(C) slopes for stations 1-20. The slopes seemed to stabilize at that point (perhaps because the conductivity range within each cast decreased substantially by station 20). An average of the slopes for stations 17-79 was determined and applied to conductivities for stations 21-81. The two sets of slopes transitioned quite smoothly at stations 20/21.

4. Residual conductivity offsets from step 3 were calculated for data deeper than 250db. Smoothed offsets were determined in two groups (as expected, since the slopes were two groups). A second-order fit of residual conductivity offsets deeper than 250db, as a function of station number (time), was determined for stations 1-21 and applied to stations 1-20. This pulled the earlier stations in much better than a first-order fit would have, and matched up well with the next group. A first-order fit of residual 250db+ conductivity offsets, as a function of station number (time), was determined using stations 21-23 and 49-79 (minus two casts outside the (4,2) std.dev. rejection range). The smoothed offsets were then applied to stations 21-30 and 49-81.

5. Offsets were then manually adjusted from the smoothed values based on deep theta-salinity consistency. Several Autosal runs were disregarded because of standardization issues caused by instrument problems and drifts, especially on earlier stations.

6. A small residual pressure-dependent slope was apparent at this point. First- and second-order dC(P) fits for all residual conductivity differences, with (4,2) std.dev. rejections applied, were compared. The two fits were similar, but the second-order fit was used because it had less effect on the deep data while pulling in the surface data about the same amount. The dC(P**2) and dC(C) coefficients were both used, combining the two offsets.

CTD#1 (stations 9, 31-48):

Pressure Sensor s/n 130538 (Paine):

P Calibs:

Jan. 2000 - -1.47/0.13/15.66 deg.C bath to 6080/1191 db

Apr. 2000 - -1.33/16.60 deg.C bath to 6080/1191 db

first Jan. cold calib disregarded: CTD repaired between 2 cold cals

(very different slope/offset than next calibration done)

cold cals: shifted -0.1/0/+0.2 db top 1000db/mid-range/3000db-btm +

upcast from pre- to post-cruise calibration

warm cals: shifted maximum +0.2 db from pre- to post-cruise calibration

Correction used: average pre-/post-cruise cold calibs and warm calibs (omitted noisy data where 200psi weight removed on Apr. cold upcast)

Temperature Sensor s/n 13661 (Rosemount PRT):

T Calibs: Jan. 2000/Apr. 2000

+0.0006 at -1.5 deg.C, +0.00045 at 5.0 deg.C and +0.0013 at 16.0 deg.C

Correction used: equally weighted Jan. + Apr. 2000 Tcals (same #pts at each level, same # of levels) - then averaged, calculated second-order fit of differences to rawT

Conductivity Sensor s/n F143 (NBIS):

Calibrated to bottle salts taken during cruise.

NOTE: This sensor had a small + Conductivity drift with time during its first cast (station 9). The drift seemed to have stabilized by the bottom of the downcast. Since the downcast data clearly required a different correction, the upcast was used for pressure-sequencing to get a better-calibrated cast.

1. Checked dC(C) fits for all bottle differences/all CTD-1 stations together; determined first-order dC(C) fit worked best to optimize corrections for deeper data points. Some cast-to-cast shifts were noted, especially station 9 being substantially lower than the rest.

2. First-order dC(C) fits with a (4,2) std.dev. rejection were generated for each cast from Bottle-CTD Cond. differences, and the resulting slopes were compared (disregarding any offset differences). The slopes were smoothed in 1 group with a first-order fit through the slopes for stations 9 and 31-48, as a function of station number (time), minus a few very shallow casts or casts with several "flyers" in gradient areas. Smoothed/slowly decreasing dC(C) slopes were applied to stations 9 and 31-48.

3. Residual conductivity offsets from step 2 were calculated for data deeper than 250db. Smoothed offsets were determined in one group: a first-order fit of residual 250db+ conductivity offsets for stations 34-48 (minus shallower stations 38-40) was determined, then applied to stations 31-48. Station 9 was offset separately, not surprising because of its drifting problem on the downcast.

4. Offsets were then manually adjusted from the smoothed values based on deep theta-salinity consistency. Stations 31-33 needed a bigger adjustment than most, probably due to the long period of non-use between stas 9 and 31. More than a typical amount of fine-tuning was needed for these casts, where the CTD was subjected to some exceptionally cold temperatures and more than its share of frozen sensor issues.

5. The residual offsets were checked for any pressure-dependent correction, and none was warranted.

Both CTDs together - final conductivity calibration checks:

Deep Theta-Salinity overlays of 8 consecutive casts, as well as non-consecutive stations in close proximity to each other based on position and/or depth, were checked for consistency. Data were also checked against deep areas of KH36 casts at the same positions (from a July-August 1999, in a warmer season), and a few more small offset adjustments were made. KH38 deep data lie within 0 to +0.001 mS/cm of KH36 deep data at similar station positions throughout the cruise area.

In Jan. 2005, Young-Gyu Park (khoh@kordi.re.kr) emailed concerns about a large (0.007 PSU) difference between J04 and J07 deep salinity data. He sent theta-salinity plots of J04 data and preliminary J07 data he had acquired from Lynne Talley's website. After finalizing conductivity corrections, KH38 data (aka J07), stations 1-10, were re-checked against the J04 plot: the inconsistencies have disappeared, and the deep theta-salinity data now agree to within 0.001 PSU.

CTD Oxygen data:

Preliminary automated fits from 2002 were applied to the data; no individual attention was given to resolve specific fitting problems. The CTD oxygen data were reported as "uncalibrated" in the final WOCE-format CTD data files. An attempt was made to determine where the sensors had failed; these CTD oxygen data were not reported. (Exception: a few casts' fits were SO bad that huge negative oxygen values appeared in the data files and caused a problem in file checking/generation. Corrections from a nearby cast were used instead to bring these data into the ballpark; these casts are documented in kh38CTD_Cmmts, Appendix B.)

CTD Transmissometer data:

Time-series data files with preliminary block-averaged data, including both transmissometers, were given electronically to Margaret Stramska (USC and UCSD email addresses) in Nov. 2002. They were not further processed by ODF, and are not included with this data set.

B.2 Salinity water sample analyses: Carl Mattson (SIO/ODF)

Salinometer types Serial numbers Stations Bath temperature

Guidline 8400A Autosal 57-396 6-81 24°C

Guidline 8400A Autosal 48-263 1-4 24°C

Standard seawater: Batch P-134

The autosals were configured for computer-aided measurement. The data was acquired on a PC during analysis.

On station 5 there was a problem with the Autosal. Complete comments on the quality of individual salinity water samples are given in Appendix B.

B.3 Oxygen water sample analyses: Carl Mattson (SIO/ODF)

Oxygen water samples were run on all stations using a Dosimat UV-endpoint detection automatic titration system. The titrator employed a Brinkman Dosimat 665 automatic burette and an Ultraviolet detection system interfaced with a PC for data acquisition and control.

Comments on the quality of individual oxygen water samples are given in Appendix B.

B.4 Nutrient analyses: Carl Mattson (SIO/ODF)

Nutrients were run on all stations using a Technicon AA-II CFA system with a PC based acquisition system. Nutrients measured - NO2, NO3, PO4, SIO3 and also ammonium. The system performed well with few problems. Data was reviewed by analysts and transferred to the processing computer for integration with other water sample data.

Comments on the quality of individual oxygen water samples are given in Appendix B.

B.5 Alkalinity and pH analyses: Pavel Tishchenko (POI)

Samples were collected and analyzed for pH and alkalinity from every station. Methods are described in the cruise reports from the R/V Revelle (HNRO7) (website http://sam.ucsd.edu/onr_data/j04/hnro7_revelle_report.htm) and R/V Professor Khromov (KH36) (website http://sam.ucsd.edu/onr_data/j05/kh36_khromov_report.htm), both conducted in summer 1999 as part of the same project.

Comments on the quality of individual water samples are given in Appendix B.

B.6 Underway temperature, salinity, chlorophyll: Dong-Jin Kang and Doshik Hahm (SNU)

Salinity, temperature, and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured every minute. the thermosalinograph was a with Seabird (SBE 21) with two temperature sensors and conductivity sensor, all calibrated in late April 1999. Fluorometry was measured with a Wet Labs WETStar fluorometer, calibrated June 5, 1999. GPS navigation was recorded every minute.

B.7 Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (LADCP): Lynne Talley (SIO) and Peter Hacker (U. Hawaii)

A 150 KHz RD Instruments acoustic doppler current profiler was integrated with the large CTD/rosette package. The LADCP makes direct current measurements at the depth of the CTD, thus providing a full profile of velocity. The LADCP was used at every station with the large rosette package (Stations 1-8, 10-30, 49-81). The shipboard data acquisition system for the LADCP permits data acquisition on a laptop PC and very preliminary processing on a small Sparc workstation.

B.8 Meteorology: Robert Beardsley and Richard Limeburner (WHOI)

Overall information about the shipboard meteorological measurements for the Japan Sea cruises is available on the website http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/japan_sea. The complete report for KH38 is on the website http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/japan_sea/japan2000khromovcrpt/crurptkhromov00.htm.

The following two paragraphs are taken from the introduction to that report.

"The objectives of the meteorological component of the 2000 winter hydrographic cruise on the R/V Professor Khromov to the Sea of Japan were to make high quality shipboard measurements of wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, relative humidity, air temperature, sea surface temperature, short wave radiation, long wave radiation and precipitation.

The meteorological equipment was shipped to Korea in January 2000 and the instruments were then mounted on the Russian ship in Pusan. This report describes the instruments used during the cruise and the data collected. R. Limeburner from WHOI installed the meteorological instruments on the ship in Pusan, Korea and Alexey Sherebinin and Igor Filippov from the Far Eastern Regional Hydromet Research Institute, Vladivostok assisted in the installation."

B.9 Navigation: Robert Beardsley and Richard Limeburner (WHOI)

GPS data were collected by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Beardsley and Limeburner) at 10 minute intervals for the entire cruise. See the report linked in B.8 for information and data.

## large Conductivity (Salinity) despiked/offset segments

Several large segments of salinity data were affected by

conductivity sensor fouling and were offset before finalizing

corrections. The largest segments (most consecutive pressure

intervals) affected are listed below, with the approximate

offsets used to shift them back to match nearby data. More

nearby levels may have also been despiked to

## possible equilibration or freezing problems:

The following 4 casts recorded unrealistic (high) temperatures, followed

by rapid drops to near-freezing temperatures, before the cast went in

the water. This was likely caused by (too-)warm water being poured over

the sensors because of freezing problems. It's possible this can distort

some temperature-related lags applied to the CTD data (because the

internal CTD temperature at power-up was assumed to also be this warm).

(Quote from station 71 cast 1 console log: "It is necessary to use

warm house for CTD and rosette under cold winter condition. It

will be better for sensors and sampling.")

sta/cst possible equilibration issue

028/01 pre-cast T starts at 25.8 deg.C, rapidly drops to -3.0 deg.C; 5 mins.

at -3 to 0 deg.C before going in water (surface T -0.1 deg.C)

030/01 pre-cast T starts at 14.9 deg.C, rapidly drops to -3.2 deg.C; 2 mins.

at -3 to 0 deg.C before going in water (surface T -1.0 deg.C)

072/01 pre-cast T topped-out/above 31.3 deg.C several seconds, then rapidly

drops to 4.5 deg.C just before going in (surface T -0.33 deg.C)

073/01 pre-cast T topped out at 31.3 for 15 seconds, then rapidly

drops to 10.9 deg.C just before going in (surface T 1.5 deg.C)

The lowest pre-cast (out-of-water) temperatures are listed below for any

cast with below-freezing (corrected) air temperatures. There is potential

for sensor freezing problems, especially in the near-surface data. Known

problems have been fixed where possible by using a later start-time for

pressure-sequencing, thereby bypassing data affected by freezing, or using

upcasts when the effect went too deep on the downcast. (Stations 72/73

off-scale high temperatures were also noted here, as well as casts where

data files started in-water in areas likely to have had freezing problems.)

Freezing can/probably did affect every CTD sensor (including oxygen and

transmissometers) at some point during this cruise.

Comments

CTD - after survey check E\CTD\ *.scr files in CTD computer.

00101.scr,03401.scr,04601.scr,05201.scr,05901.scr -no data.

Probably will be rewrite from ZIP100 disk.

Problem: NavLog computer have a slow clock. During cruise computer time

was corrected three times (may be more) according with real time.

Final time difference is about 30 min (may be more). For correction

navlog time can be use data korean Sea Cat GPS (on floppy discs).
