File Descriptions

This section describes the content and format of each of the 13 files that make up this NDP (see Table 4). Because CDIAC distributes the data set in several ways (e.g., via anonymous FTP and on floppy diskette), each of the 13 files is referenced by both a file number and an ASCII file name, which is given in lowercase, bold faced type (e.g., ndp067.doc). The remainder of this section describes (or lists, where appropriate) the contents of each file.
