    BEACH water column chemical data are distributed as ASCII flat
files.  An entire cruise's data is contained in one file (e.g.,
super1.gof contains the data from CMORE-SUPER-HI-CAT-1). For convenience
we have also presented some physical data (i.e. CTD pressure,
temperature, salinity, etc ...) in the super*.gof files.

    The files are self-explanatory; one column is written for each
measured parameter.  Missing data are filled with -9. A five-line
heading labels each column.  Variables having asterisks in their
heading have a quality flag associated with them. These quality flags
are concatenated as a quality word which is listed as the last eight
variables in each row (either six or seven flags per variable).  The
values each digit can assume and their meanings follows:


Quality Indicators:

	Flag  Meaning
	 1    not quality controled
	 2    good data
	 3    suspect (i.e.  questionable) data
	 4    bad data
	 5    missing data
	 9    variable not measured during this cast
