File Descriptions
This section describes the content and format of each of the five files that make up this NDP (see Table 1). Because CDIAC distributes the data set in several ways (e.g., via anonymous FTP, on floppy diskette, and on 9-track magnetic tape), each of the five files is referenced by both an ASCII file name, which is given in lowercase, boldfaced type (e.g., ndp063.doc), and a file number. The remainder of this section describes (or lists, where appropriate) the contents of each file. The files are discussed in the order in which they appear on the magnetic tape.
Table 1. Content, size, and format of data files.
| File No. | File name and description | Logical records | File size in bytes | Block size | Record length |

| 2. | stainv.for: a FORTRAN 77 data-retrieval routine to read and print s4psta.inv (File 4) | 43 | 1,335 | 8,000 | 80 |
| 3. | s4pdat.for: a FORTRAN 77 data-retrieval routine to read and print s4p.dat (File 5) | 51 | 2,067 | 8,000 | 80 |
| 4. | s4psta.inv: a listing of stations, locations, sampling dates, and sounding bottom depths for each of the 113 stations | 123 | 9,132 | 4,100 | 41 |
| 5. | s4p.dat: hydrographic, carbon dioxide, and chemical data from 113 stations | 2,599 | 428,122 | 8,000 | 80 |
