						
George Heimerdinger,

Below is the README file that was to accompany a 9-track tape to 
submit to NODC proir to our discussing DOS formatted disks for 
transferal.  Translating the files increased their sizes (~104%)
from what is recorded below, so I've included output of the DOS
'DIR' command for each disk at the end of this document.  One more 
caveat is that the file 'ted1234.nodc' could not fit on a single
disk.  I split it into 'ted1234.pt1' and 'ted1234.pt2'.  To 
reconstruct the complete file, copy them onto a larger medium 
(hard disk) with the command;
	COPY TED1234.PT1+TED1234.PT2 TED1234.NOD

Don't hesitate to call me if there are any questions or problems 
concerning any aspect of this data.

	All data were obtained from the RV Columbus Iselin cruise #CI12
between September 29 and October 7, 1991.

	File  #0 this README file.

	Files #1 - #15 (ctd.127 - ctd.141) contain data collected with
University of Miami's Neil Brown CTD #IU221006 and formatted using U.S. 
National Oceanographic Data Center Exchange Format. 

	Files #16 - #20 contain Inverted Echo Sounder time series collected
in the years 1989-91 as documented in the headers of each record.  Where
applicable, succeeding years' time series were adjusted and joined to 
preceeding time series with times and adjustment offsets of the joint
documented in the headers of each record.  The naming convention includes 
the deployment sequence number(s).  The files are in a format similar to
that of pressure gauge data (File Type FT-017).  The data is milliseconds 
(to thousandths) of sound speed reported as 2-way travel time.  Most 
significant digit removed from each observation, hence a residual may be
a positive or negative number.


	Sample heads and tails of each file type are listeed below;
