% 1. zgrid                                                      
%   Depths, in meters, corresponding to the centers of depth    
% intervals to which velocity values apply. Mean sea level is   
% zero and increasingly deeper depths are more negative.        
% 2. lat_vc & lon_vc                                            
%   Latitudes (degrees North) and longitudes (degrees West;     
% negative) of the centers of the virtual channels (explained in
% report) from which velocity measurements are drawn.           
% 3. vc_name                                                    
%   Descriptive names (3-character strings) of virtual channels.
% 4. bathy_mean & bathy_stdev                                   
%   Seafloor depth, meters, from bottom-track measurements. Mean
% and standard deviation, based on ~1000 ferry transits, of the 
% average depth values which were each computed using all       
% 16-second ensemble-mean measurements within a virtual channel.
