  Full details and data available from the NODC Joint Archive for
ADCP data at http://ilikai.soest.hawaii.edu/sadcp.

  The commonly used ascii subset is available here (w0008.dat).
This file is ascii with 7 columns as follows:

Column 1 :     Yearday 2000 (1.5 == Jan. 1 at 1200)
Column 2 :     Depth of the bin center (m) 
Column 3 :     Longitude (-180 to 180, decimal degrees)
Column 4 :     Latitude (-90 to 90, decimal degrees) 
Column 5 :     East velocity (m/s)
Column 6 :     North velocity (m/s)
Column 7 :     bottom-track bit (not relevant for most users) 

  All data records are good; there are no null values.  Missing
or poor-quality data have been omitted.
