During processing of, say station 067, the data files listed below are

produced. While these are all ASCII files containing numbers and

comment lines beginning with #, they have meta-data encoded in them and

are, therefore, not particularly readable. They can easily be imported

into Matlab, however, using the loadANTS.m.

=Standard Field Names=

depth		depth in meters

downcast	flag that is 1 for downcast, 0 for upcast

elapsed		elapsed time in seconds since beginning of cast

ens		ADCP ensemble number

dc_		downcast prefix

uc_		upcast prefix

BT_		bottom-tracking prefix

.mad		mean-absolute-deviation suffix

.nsamp		number-of-sample suffix

=Output Files=

067.log		- log-file of diagnostic processing output 

067.w		- this file contains literally everything

		- each record contains a single w sample (from a

		  particular bin of a particular ensemble) with all

		  available metadata

067.prof	- vertical velocity profiles:

			1) downcast only

			2) upcast only

			3) combined down-/upcast (not recommended)

			4) bottom tracked (only near seabed)

067.LADCPtis	- time series of LADCP reference-layer w data

		- this file is produced before processing, i.e. it can

		  be used to diagnose time-lagging problems

067.tis		- more complete time series data including

067.TL		- diagnostic output of time-lagging algorithm
