cgc90sta.inv (File 4)

This file provides station inventory information for each of 63 stations occupied during the R/V Malcolm Baldrige CGC-90 Cruise. There is one entry for each station. Each line contains a section number, cast number, latitude, longitude, sampling date (day/month/year), sampling time, and sounding depth of the station. The file is sorted by station number and can be read using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in stainv.for (File 2)]:

            INTEGER  sta, cast, dep 
            REAL lat, lon
            CHARACTER date*8, time*4
            read (1, 10, end=999) sta, cast, lat, lon, date, time,
         1 dep
    10    format (6X, I2, 5X, I3, 2X, F7.3, 2X, F8.3, 2X, A8, 4X,
         1 A4, 4X, I4)
 

Stated in tabular form, the contents include the following:

Variable	Variable type	Variable width	Starting column	Ending column
sta	Numeric	2	7	8
cast	Numeric	3	14	16
lat	Numeric	7	19	25
lon	Numeric	8	28	35
date	Character	8	38	45
time	Character	4	50	53
dep	Numeric	4	58	61

where

sta - is the station number;

cast - is the cast number;

lat - is the latitude of the station (in decimal degrees):

• Stations in the Southern Hemisphere have negative latitudes;

lon - is the longitude of the station (in decimal degrees):

• Stations in the Western Hemisphere have negative longitudes;

date - is the date the station was sampled (day/month/year);

time - is the time the station was sampled (Greenwich Mean Time);

dep - is the sounding depth of the station (in m).
