0062541_lonlat.txt -
  Contains sample locations for these data. Each row contains the
  geographical position where these data were collected (longitude in the
  left column and latitude in the right column, both in degrees). NCEI may
  have corrected geographic positions that seemed to be in error when
  generating this file. However, NCEI did not change the original data files
  under the directory data/0-data/.

Source: Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo
profiling floats for the week of 2010-02-25 to 2010-03-03 for the Global Argo
Data Repository, date ranged from 2002-08-06 to 2010-03-03 were obtaine
from the ARGO GTS server (available at <http://www.usgodae.org/argo/argo.html>
as of 2010-03-04 by NODC staff for the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR).

The U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) operates the Global
Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the
International Global Argo Project (for additional information about
Argo, see http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/ (last accessed March 2010)). Argo
data archived by the US NODC may include real-time and/or delayed-mode
profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related
conductivity and/or pressure measurements, collected by Argo profiling
floats.

NODC began archiving Argo daily data on a weekly basis starting
the second quarter of FY 2003. These data include real-time and/or
delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity (conductivity
and pressure, if any) measured by the Argo profiling floats.

The file naming convention used for these data is as follows:
yyyymmdd_prof.nc where yyyymmdd is the date the data were transmitted;
prof indicates that these are profile data, and .nc indicates that the
file is a netCDF file, and the _# is the sequence number assigned when
the file exceeds the file size limits.

format is available at
