R/V FAY Navigation and
Geophysical Data


Where can I find the navigation and geophysical data?
What do the data file names mean?

To assist in locating the data via format or cruise, cross-referenced lists have been generated in addition to the numeric tape identifier list. Select the appropriate list to search for a particular data format, cruise or to view the data listing by tape identifier.


There are many versions of the same data format listed for many of the individual cruises. The difference between some tapes of the same format can be accounted for by the fact that one data file has been editted and is considered the final version of the data and, as such, is a modified version of an original uneditted (UE) file. Additionally, the difference in two files may be attributed to the fact that one file was processed with different program parameters as may have happened with the available gravity (SEAG) data.

To aid in the location of the best possible tapes, a short list which includes only one data format per cruise was generated. These tapes are suggested for usage.
