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 Oceano- 

 graphic 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 Corrected or uncorrected sounding in meters. 



Max. Depth of Samples Depth of deepest sample in hundreds of meters to nearest hundred-meter interval. 



(if 2 digit code) For internal use only, 



or 

 DNP (if I digit code) 

 Wave observations: 



DIR Rounded to nearest multiple of 10 degrees. 



HGT Increments of V2 m. Sum of 5 meters plus increments of Vis m if 50 is added to 



direction. 



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



2X (numeric entry) -Hi. 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 to WMO Code 4677. 



Cloud Code: 



Type Cloud type according to WMO Code 0500. 



Amount Cloud amount in eighths. Entry of the numeral 9 indicates cloud amount could not 



be estimated. 



Water: 



Color Code Color according to Forel-Ule scale. 



Trans. Transparency in whole meters as determined by Secchi disc. 



Wind: 



Dir. Rounded to nearest multiple of 10 degrees. 



Speed or Force If preceded by letter S, wind speed in knots; if preceded by letter F, wind force 



according to Beaufort scale. 



Barometer Barometric pressure given in tens, units, and tenths of millibars. 



.\ir Temp. ° C. Air temperature to tenths of a degree Celsius. 



Vis. Code Visibility according to WMO Code 4300. 



No. obs. depths Number of observed levels associated with the station.
