I09S bathymetry and station information: ASCII bathymetry data file was obtained from WOCE Global Data Version 3.0 DVD The depths are corrected. Expocode: 316N145_5 Chief Scientist: Mike McCartney/WHOI Ship: R/V Knorr Ports: Fremantle, Austraila Dates: December 1, 1994 - Jan 19 1995 ------------------------- File Description: "02030049.a77" is the original data in NGDC format "I09S_bathy_gdc.txt" is 02030049.a77 reformatted to our standard gdc format "I09S_bathydist.txt" is the decimated bathymetry file, projected onto straight lines between station positions, used for plotting the vertical sections. "I09S_sta_bdep.txt" is the station list, with corrected bottom depths for each station, based on the WHP format station summary file i08su.txt. -------------------------- Format Specifications: Ascii Navigation format for the original data 02030049.a77 Complex, packed format.
