description du format des données ( 1992-1998)

The format of our reformatted files is as follows:

The drops are concatenated.  Each drop is coded as follows:

Line 1:
	Ship Code		Character*2
	Voyage Number		Character*3
	Drop number		integer (i3)
	year,month,day		3i2
	time (GMT)		character*5
	lat (deg,min,dir)	character*5
	long (deg,min,dir	character*6
	number of temperatures 
		in drop		i4
	depth interval		7x,a2 (2m for these files 
                                    IF SPECIFIED - 5 m if not specified)
	quality control codes	10i3  (see the CSIRO cookbook)
	
Line 2:
	probe type 		1x,a4	(for drops after 1990 only)
	temperatures		5x,20f3.1

Subsequent lines:
	temperatures		10x,20f3.1  (until all temperatures listed)
						(use this for line 2 of
						 pre 1990 files also)

NOTE:  The first temperature value is at 0.0 metres.  

	Ship Code = IN indicates the Iron Newcastle
		    IP indicates the Iron Pacific
		    AP indicates the Australian Progress

This drop is read as:  Iron Newcastle cruise 39s, drop 1 taken on 17/4/89 at 
2100 hours GMT.  Position 20.00N, 123.34E and there are 382 temperature values
in the drop.  (ignore the SN) The temperatures are taken at 2 metre intervals, 
starting at 0.0 metres.  The quality control flags 1 and 6 were given to this 
drop (these are explained in the CSIRO Cookbook for Quality Control of Expendable
Bathythermograph (XBT) Data, version 1.0 but can probably be ignored).  This
drop was recorded with a T-4 probe and the first temperature value is 27.5 degrees.

Note - some drops will not have probe type recorded with them.
