Source:  Temperature data received at NODC on 07/27/05 by Ricardo Locarnini on NMFS MBT CARDS,
downloaded off a CD-ROM used only as a transfer media. The content of CD-ROM was copied
to the /0-data directory.  

Located in /about directory:

BTFormat.xls - ASCII layout for BT cards.  This Excel file was saved to
three ASCII CSV files, one for each sheet in the Excel file.  These are
called: BTFormat_Meteosheet.csv, BTFormat_detailsheet.csv, and
BTFormat_headersheet.csv .

errata.txt - Problems/Changes related to NMFS data, R.A. Locarnini, 26 July 2005.
As described in the errata.txt file in the about directory, data files have several date, location, 
and data problems discovered after routine data processing for the World Ocean Database. Some temperature
profiles have been submitted to NODC in previous accession numbers.
