DATA
| Element | Start Position |
Field Type | Description of Field |
| STATION NO | 1 | A3,I3 |
Station number given by the ship code suffixed with three digits
consective numbers. |
| DATE/TIME | 8 | 2(2I2,1X) |
Month, day and time of an observation in JST. |
| LATITUDE | 18 | I2,1X,I2,I1,A1 |
Degrees, minutes and tenths of minutes (if given)
of latitude, N or S. |
| LONGITUDE | 26 | I3,1X,I2,I1,A1 |
Degrees, minutes and tenths of minutes (if given)
of longitude, E or W. |
| W-DEPTH | 35 | I4 |
Water depth to the bottom in meters. |
| NO OF LAYER | 40 | I2 |
Number of observation layers. |
| DEPTH(1) | 43 | I4 |
Depth of the 1st(4th) layer in meters. |
| DIR/SPEED(1) | 48 | I3,1X,I2 |
True direction (in degrees) toward which current is flowing and speed given in
tenths of knots of the subsurface current for the 1st (4th) layer
determined with Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (ACM). When the speed
is less than 0.05knots, direction is given as 0. |

| HYD-NO | 95 | I4 |
Corresponding station number of
hydrographic data. |
| SSF-NO | 99 | A2,I3 |
Corresponding station number of
subsurface temperature data. |
| INTERVAL | 105 | I4 |
Time of averaging interval in seconds. |
| SHIP-DIR | 110 | I3 |
