Data Formats and Descriptions and
Processing Programs


The navigation and geophysical data stored on this CD-ROM comprise data collected and processed in data formats created and implemented by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Digital Data Library (DDL) in the early 1970's. Thus, in the past, these formats as a whole have generally been referred to as the WHOI-DDL formats. Data formats were generally ASCII with the few exceptions where data were stored on tape in EBCDIC format to facilitate data processing on computer systems that required EBCDIC format.
