HOT Physical Oceanography Meteorological data

Cruises 1 through 27 are written in the first format that contains only numeric data (files met1_#.dat, where # is the cruise number). Starting with cruise 28, the data exist in the original format and in the second format that contains some character fields (e.g. Type of cloud) in addition to the numerical data (files met2_#.dat). The continuous flow of these data depends on funding, and that depends in part on the credits that we get from the data users.
