/Comments
filename: bats_flux.txt
Contains sediment trap data for BATS cruises for years 1988-2016
/NOTE:
The cruise list contains all of the cruises that fall within the specified range.
However, a cruise may not contain data for the parameters requested.
/Variable list
cr      = Cruise                                             
 A unique number identifying the cruise
 5 digit number !####, where
 !   = Cruise type, 1=BATS core.
 #### = Cruise number
 e.g., 10048 is BATS core 48
