Hi Francis,

I am attaching 1 zip file: NRT3_NODC_2005.zip.

It contains 13 archive cast files acquired during the 2005 season by 
NRT-3, Navigation Response Team 3.

There are 2 different types of files:

(a) 4 files are from data from an Sea-Bird Electronics Seacat 19 CTD 
Profiler.  These files consisting of descriptive headers followed by  
pressure, temperature, and salinity data. Pressure and temperature are 
obtained directly from the instrument.  Salinity is derived using 
Sea-Bird Electronics' software, SBEDataProcessing.  All 3 variables have 
been  averaged into depth bins and then fitted to 1-decibar intervals by 
means of parabolic fitting.

(b) 9 files are from data from a Digibar Velocimeter, consisting of 
descriptive headers followed by depth and sound velocity.

The filenames have format YYDDDHHM.PAA or YYDDDHHM.PAD where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
PA  indicates NRT-3
A indicates CTD type, D indicates Sound Velocity vs Depth type.

Ruby
