  Data from the KEO Mooring Site Nominally at 32.4°N, 144.6°E
Please note that since this is a slack-line mooring, the distance along the mooring line cannot be used as a proxy for sensor depths, which will at times be shallower. Instead, you must use the water pressure, which is measured by several modules, and calculated at the others, to determine sensor depths.

You may find documentation on most of the data file formats in the readme files located here. Example fortran programs to read most of the files are available here
