P01W bathymetry (12/17/2002): No underway bathymetry data are available for P01W. Bottom depths are taken from the stations and from interpolation from Smith/Sandwell bathymetry. "P01W_bathydist.dat" is the bathymetry file based on Smith/Sandwell, interpolated onto straight lines between station positions, used for plotting the vertical sections. Source for bathymetry: http://topex.ucsd.edu/, click on Global Topography, and Get Ascii XYZ file "P01W_stations.dat" is the station list, with maximum depth of each CTD profile. Note that the maximum depth is around 3500 m, whereas the actual bottom depth is much greater. (No profiling done below 3500 dbar - see WHPO documentation file.) ----------------------------------------------- Format specifications Format of "P01W_bathydist.dat" ist (iii) station number (set to 1) dist (ffffff.f) distance (km) along section (for bathydist) lat (dddddd.mm) decimal latitude lon (dddddd.mm) decimal longitude dpt (ddddd.d) depth meters Format of P01W_stations.dat station (iiii) station number distance (xxxxx.x) km along section latitude (xxx.xxx) longitude (xxxx.xxx) pressure (xxxx.x) dbar OR depth in meters
