Files:

about/
This directory contains files created by NODC staff, email correspondence, 
and other 'negotiable' information between NODC staff and the data provider.

0072310_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). NODC may have
		     corrected geographic positions that seemed to be in error
		     when generating this file. However, NODC did not change
		     the original data files under the directory data/0-data.
