m153sta.inv (File 4)
This file provides station inventory information for each of the 111 stations occupied during R/V Meteor Cruise 15/3. Each line of the file contains an expocode, section number, station number, cast number, sampling date, sampling time, latitude, longitude, and sounding depth. The file is sorted by station number and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in stainv.for (File 2)]:
INTEGER stat, cast, depth CHARACTER date*7, expo*8, sect*2, time*4 REAL latdcm, londcm read (1, 10, end=999) expo, sect, stat, cast, date, time, 1 latdcm, londcm, depth 10 format (2X, A8, 2X, A2, 7X, I3, 7X, I1, 2X, A7, 3X, A4, 4X, 1 F7.3, 4X, F7.3, 4X, I4)
Stated in tabular form, the contents include the following:
