I07PG bathymetry and station information: ASCII bathymetry data file was obtained from WOCE Global Data Version 3.0 DVD The depths are corrected. Expocode: 316N145_10 Chief Scientist: Donald B. Olson/RSMAS; Scot Doney/NCAR Ship: R/V Knorr Ports: Pt. Louis, Mauritius to Muscat, Oman Dates: July 15 - August 24 1995 ------------------------- File Description: "02030053.a77" is the original data in NGDC format "I07N_bathy_gdc.txt" is 02030053.a77 reformatted to our standard gdc format "I07PG_bathydist.txt" is the decimated bathymetry file, projected onto straight lines between station positions, used for plotting the vertical sections. bathymetry was made in 3 sections: 1. w-e sections, stations 810 to 816 2. s-n section, stations 816 to 852 3. n-s sections, stations 852 to 855 "I07PG_sta_bdep.txt" is the station list, with corrected bottom depths for each station, based on the WHP format station summary file i07nsu.txt. -------------------------- Format Specifications: Ascii Navigation format for the original data 02030053.a77 Complex, packed format.
