P14N bathymetry data Updated 3/20/02 LDT ASCII navigation and bathymetry data file was obtained from Frank Delahoyde from ODF on 10/27/98. Depths are apparently corrected, but do not agree with the NGDC depths. P14N - last station at 15.981 deg S port stop at 18.703 deg S Expocode: 325023_1 and 325024_1 Chief Scientist: Gunnar Roden Ship: R/V T.
