Station Documentation

Documentation added 1997-01-31

Data up to June 26 1992 are not corrected for atmospheric
pressure. Conversion from total pressure to pressure due to sea
water has been done using a fixed atm. pressure of 1013 mbar.
After June 26 1992 the data are corrected for atm. pressure using
data from a pressure sensor placed on land. Salinity not measured,
sea level elevation calculated from pressure using a sea water
density based on measured temperature and a salinity of 31.5ppt.
