<li>These are stored as single ascii files per cruise with several variables merged to one minute (interpolated) time steps.</li>
<li>The first column is the time stamp which, for Albatross convention, is \"yrday0_gmt\" which means, for example, that a time of \"0.5\" represents local noontime on Jan 1st.</li>
<li>We all understand this data (shipboard temp, salt, wind, etc.) should be treated as uncalibrated records and <strong>should not be used other than exploratory purposes</strong>.</li>
