The OceanSITES format netcdf file in this directory contains
data from the Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) mooring 
at the nominal location of 32.4N, 144.5E in the Kuroshio
Extension recirculation gyre.

Please note that this is a slack line mooring, and so the 
depths of subsurface sensors must be computed from the 
observed and calculated pressures, which are contained 
in the data file.

Please refer to the file head_dy.txt for detailed information
about the data contained. All available variables are 
contained in one OceanSITES file.

If you want to read the file using matlab, you can use
the file ostime2md.m to convert the OceanSITES time axis
into matlab times. NOTE: The file ostime2md.m was 
modified on May 1 2007, and you may need to update
it if you had copied it previously.

If you use these data in publications or presentations,
please acknowledge the KEO Project Office. Also, we would
appreciate receiving a preprint and/or reprint of
publications utilizing the data for inclusion in
our bibliography. Relevant publications should be sent to:
