I don't need another merged copy back. After comparing the first surface calculation with surrounding NOAA data, I subtracted 20 meters more. I also deleted these records, which had no depths: 19920311715000 19920311720000 19920311725000 19920311730000 19920311735000 19920311740000 I changed the depths for these records to be closer to neighboring points: 19920331615000 939 25 -1741.5 to 19920331615000 399 25 -754.4 19920340230000 492 25 -924.4 to 19920340230000 392 25 -741.6 David Piper of the Geological Survey of Canada provided a file of depths recorded every 5 min during P-1-92-SC to Bill Normark. The depths are in fathoms based on v = 800 fm/s (1462.4 m/s) and are relative to the transducer, which Bill estimated at about 5 m below sea level. A comparison of the first calculated surface to adjoining NOAA Coastal Relief Model (90-m gridded data) suggested the P192SC values needed to be 20 meters deeper. All corrections are reflected in the attached file.
