File Description:

"67060006.a77" is the original data in NGDC format

"I06_bathy_gdc.txt" is 67060006.a77 reformatted to our standard gdc format


"I06_bathydist.txt" is the decimated bathymetry file, projected
    onto straight lines between station positions, used for plotting
    the vertical sections.

"I06_sta_bdep.txt" is the station list, with corrected bottom
    depths for each station, based on the WHP format station summary files
    i06sau.txt and i06sbsu.txt.
