File Descriptions

This section describes the content and format of each of the 21 files that constitute this NDP-080 (see Table 14). Because CDIAC distributes the data set in several ways (via the Web, CDIAC's online ordering system, or anonymous FTP), each of the 21 files is referenced by both an ASCII file name, which is given in lowercase, bold-faced type (e.g., ndp080.txt), and a file number. The remainder of this section describes (or lists, where appropriate) the contents of each file.
