Codes Utilized 



A complete description of the codes utilized in the tabulation of oceanographic station data can 

 be found in National Oceanographic Data Center publication M-2, Processing Physical and Chemical 

 Data from Oceanographic Stations. (Rev. August 1964, supplement issued May 1966.) 



To facilitate use of the oceanographic station data listing, entry headings which are not self-explana- 

 tory are described below. 



Depth to Bottom Uncorrected sounding in meters. 



Max. Depth of Samples . . . Depth of deepest sample to nearest multiple of one hundred meters. 

 Wave observations 



DIR Rounded to nearest multiple of 10 degrees. 



HGT Increments of 1/2 m. Sum of 5 meters plus increments of 1/2 m if 50 is added to direction. 



PER If numerals 2 through 9 are entered, period in seconds is twice the numeric entry or 2X 



(numeric entry) +1. For other entries see WMO Code 3155. 



SEA Sea state according to WMO Code 3700 



Weather Code If preceded by X, weather according to WMO Code 4501. If a two-digit entry, weather according
