i*sta.dat (Files 4-12)

These files, i08si09ssta.dat, i09nsta.dat, i08ni05esta.dat, i03sta.dat, i05wi04sta.dat, i07nsta.dat, i01sta.dat, i10sta.dat, and i02sta.dat, provide station inventory information for each station occupied during the R/V Knorr cruises along WOCE Sections I8SI9S, I9N, I8NI5E, I3, I5WI4, I7N, I1, I10, and I2. Each line in the files contains an expocode, section number, station number, cast number, sampling date (month/date/year), sampling time, latitude, longitude, and sounding depth. The files are sorted by station number and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 90 code (contained in IOstainv.for (File 2):

           INTEGER  stat, cast, depth
           REAL latdcm, londcm
           CHARACTER expo*10, sect*4, date*10, time*4

           read (1, 10, end=999) expo, sect, stat, cast, date, time,
         1 latdcm, londcm, depth

     10    format (1X, A10, 6X, A4, 3X, I4, 5X, I1, 3X, A10, 2X, A4, 3X,
         1 F7.3, 3X, F8.3, 3X, I4)

    The variables are defined as follows:

    expo           expedition code of the cruise

    sect           WOCE section number

    stat           station number

    cast           cast number

    date           sampling date (month/day/year)

    time           sampling time [Greenwich mean time (GMT)]

    latdcm       latitude of the station (in decimal degrees; negative values indicate the
                        Southern Hemisphere)

    londcm       longitude of the station (in decimal degrees; negative values indicate the Western
                        Hemisphere)

    depth          sounding depth of the station (in meters)
