COARE water sample data.                                                                                           Water sample data from COARE are written according to the *.sea  files specified by the WOCE Hydrographic Programme Office for    submission of these data to the WHP.                                                                                              Formats for these files are detailed in the WHP Office Report    WHPO 90-1 (WOCE Report No 67/91) available from                  Dr. Terrence Joyce, Director, WHP Office,                        Dept. of Physical Oceanography, WHOI, Woods Hole, MA 02543.                                                                       The files are self-explanatory, one column is written for each   measured parameter.  Missing data are filled with -9.  A 5-line  heading labels each column.                                                                                                       Variables having 7 asterisks on the 4th heading line have a qualiflag associated with them.  These 1-digit quality flags are concanated to form quality word which is listed as the last variable ieach row.  The values each digit can assume and their meanings arlisted below:                                                                                                                                                                                      Bottle quality flag definitions:                                                                                                   Byte Value  Definition                                               1       Not assigned.                                            2       No problems noted.                                       3       Leaking.                                                 4       Did not trip correctly.                                 5-8      Not assigned.                                            9       Samples not drawn from this bottle.
