m115sta.inv (File 4)
This file provides station inventory information for each of the 78 stations occupied during R/V Meteor Cruise 11/5. Each line contains a section number, station number, latitude, longitude, sampling date, and sounding depth. The file is sorted by station number and can be read by using the following FORTRAN 77 code [contained in stainv.for (File 2)]:
INTEGER STAT, MONTH, DAY, YEAR, SDE
REAL LAT, LON
CHARACTER SECTION*4
