Data format: | Navigation information are recorded as successive lines in a comma-delimited ASCII text file, with a .glo extension. Each line of a GLO file includes the following data: the year, day of year, time, latitude, longitude, water column depth, vehicle depth, layback, and wing angle. The field for wing angle does not contain useful data. A total of 13 navigation files were collected, including: sai03001.glo sai03002.glo sai03003.glo sai03004.glo sai03005.glo sai03006.glo sai03008.glo sai03009.glo sai03010.glo sai03011.glo sai03012.glo sai03013.glo sai03014.glo in format ASCII |
