Data Format:
   ASCII text files formatted as follows:
   ASCII Header information: 13 lines of variable length
      character strings with the format: ('h ',a)
      The header contains: file name, latitude, longitude,
      time, bottom depth, station number, station name
      (may be blank), 2 comment lines, and the data column
      labels.
   1-db averaged data listed in columns with the format:
      (f7.1,4f8.3,f7.1,f8.3)(no fl, tr, ox) or
      (f7.1,4f8.3,f7.1,f8.3,2f7.3)(no ox) or
      (f7.1,4f8.3,f7.1,f8.3,2f7.3,f8.3,2f8.2) and
      (f7.1,4f8.3,f7.1,f8.3,2f7.3,3e8.1)(at bottom of
       casts if ox. values are incorrect due to slow
       ox. temp. response time then ox. is set to 1.0e+22).

Instrument Type:
   Sea-Bird 911 Plus CTD

Instrument Calibration:
   Seabird calibrations done at least annually.
   Salinity samples taken during cruise allowed precision of
   salinity measurements to <.0015 psu.

Data Processing/Reduction Methodology
   Standard recommended Sea-Bird processing for this instrument
     was employed.
   Data was averaged to 1 - m bins.
