Cruises Listed 



Observed and interpolated oceanographic data taken by USCGC EVER- 

 GREEN, 8-20 August 1974 on SAR Cruise 3-74, prepared from NODC 

 Listing No. 318408. 



A complete description of the codes utilized in the tabulation of oceano- 

 graphic 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 to nearest multiple 



of one hundred meters. 



Wave observations 



j)jR, Rounded to nearest multiple of 10 degrees. 



jjGT. In increments of 1/2 m. Sum of .5 meters plus 



increments of 1/2 m if 50 is added to direc- 

 tion. 



PER_ If numerals 2 through 9 are entered, period in 



seconds is twice the numeric entry of 2X 

 (numeric entry) +1. For other entries see 

 WMO Code 3155. 



gE^Y Sea state according to "WMO Code 3700. 



Weather Code If preceded by X, weather according to ^Y^lO 



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 eights. Entry of the nu- 

 meral 9 indicates cloutl amount could not be 

 estimated. (WMO Code 2700) 



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 accord- 

 ing to Beaufort scale.
