Data format:

There are two file formats provided, Matlab (*.mat) and ASCII format.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variables included in Matlab data files are:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name	Description        
  
u	Water Velocity E-W (m/s)
v	Water Velocity N-S (m/s)
w	vertical velocity (m/s)
b	acoustic backscatter (decibels)
dep	depth(m)
lat	Latitude(Degress)
lon	Longitude(Degrees)
time	Matlab datenum time
bins 	bin depths(m)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASCII files are formatted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First fifty lines are bin depths

Then each ensemble has:

Time Latitude Longitude Depth
U Velocity	V Velocity	 w Velocity 	Backscatter
