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 Chemi- 

 cal 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- 

 explanatory 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 % m. Sum of 5 meters plus increments of % m if 50 Is added to direction. 



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



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