NODC Data Submission

The compressed tar file ishtar.tar.Z contained ASCII files of the ISHTAR
(Inner SHelf Transfer And Recycling) research project headed by Dr. C.P.
McRoy of the Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska Fairbanks.

There are two types of files: 1. Chlorophyll (20), and 2. Nutrient (19).
They are differentiate by filenames. Chlorophyll data files end in chl.dat
and Nutrient data files end in nut.dat. The prefixes are cruise names.

The cruises are:

	1985	HX71	July
		HX72	July
		HX74	August-September
		HX75	September
		HX76	September-October

	1986	HX84	July
		HX85	July
		HX88	August-September
		HX90	September

	1987	TT212	July
		TT213	July-August
		TT214	August
		HX106	October

	1988	TT221	June
		TT222	July
		AK88	August
		RA7	September
		RA8	October

	1989	HX128	July
		HX131	September

	HX - R/V Alpha Helix
	TT - R/V Thomas Thompson
	RA - R/V Thomas Washington
	AK - R/V Akademik Korolev

The format of the Chlorophyll data files is:

	Station Number		I3
	Depth (Meters)		I5
	Chlorophyll a		F8.3

The format of the Nutrient data files is:

	Station Number		I3
	Depth (Meters)		I5
	PO4			F9.3
	SIO4			F9.3
	NO3			F9.3
	NO2			F9.3
	NH4			F9.3
	Urea			F9.3
	N+N			F9.3

The station data are the same as those used with the CTD data, which were
forwarded to NODC previously.
