P08 bathymetry:

Two sections:

For P08N (section called P08NA in WHPO):
Expocode: 49K6KY9606_1
Chief Scientist: Keisuke Mizuno
Ship:  R/V Kaiyo Maru
Ports: Tokyo - Tokyo
Dates: 1996.JUN.20 - 1996.JUL.15

For P08S:
Expocode: 49XK9605
Chief Scientist: Noriya Yoshioka, Japan Marine Science and Technology Center
Ship:  R/V Kaiyo 
Ports: Yokosuka, Japan to Korol, Palau
Dates: June 17, 1996-July 2, 1996

No underway acoustic bathymetry data are available for P08.
Bottom depths are taken from the Smith-Sandwell altimetry-based bathymetry.

"P08_sta_bdep.dat" is the station list, with maximum CTD depths 

"P08_bathydist.dat" is bathymetry as a function of distance, latitude and longitude
    along the section.
