p13sta.dat (File 4)

This file provides station inventory information for each of the 82 stations occupied during the R/V John V. Vickers cruise along WOCE Section P13. Each line of the file contains an expocode, section number, station number, cast number, sampling date (month/date/year), sampling time, latitude, longitude, and sounding depth. The file is sorted by station number and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 90 code (contained in stainv.for, File 2):

            INTEGER stat, cast, depth 
            CHARACTER expo*11, sect*3, date*10, time*4
            REAL latdcm, londcm
       
            read (1, 10, end=999) expo, sect, stat, cast, date, time,
          1 latdcm, londcm, depth 
      
      10    format (A11, 4X, A3, 4X, I2, 5X, I1, 3X, A10, 2X, A4, 3X,
          1 F7.3, 3X, F8.3, 3X, I4)

Stated in tabular form, the contents include the following:

Variable	Variable type	Variable width	Starting column	Ending column
expo	Character	11	1	11
sect	Character	3	16	18
stat	Numeric	2	23	24
cast	Numeric	1	30	30
date	Character	10	34	43
time	Character	4	46	49
latdcm	Numeric	7	53	59
londcm	Numeric	8	63	70
depth	Numeric	4	75	77

The variables are defined as follows:

expo	-	is the unique expedition code of the cruise;
sect	-	is the WOCE section number;
stat	-	is the station number;
cast	-	is the cast number;
date	-	is the sampling date (month/day/year);
time	-	is the sampling time [Greenwich mean time (GMT)];
latdcm	-	is the latitude of the station (in decimal degrees; negative values indicate the Southern Hemisphere);
londcm	-	is the longitude of the station (in decimal degrees; negative values indicate the Western Hemisphere);
depth	-	is the sounding depth of the station (in meters);
