BURST-MEAN SUMMARY FILES
Files are ASCII

Time is GMT (UT)
Depth in meters
Pressures in millibars
Coordinate system is (V) positive North and (U) positive East 
Directions are degrees True
Wave heights in meters
Wave periods in seconds
Sediment concentrations in g/l
Distances in centimeters
Temperature in degrees Celsius



Each Burst-Mean Summary File has Two Header Lines:
1) Type of instrument - deployment - location
2) Column headings

For each instrument the columns of data are:
All	 First three columns are:
	 1) Burst number 
	 2) Time 
	 3) Date  

	    then

635	 4) Pressure 
	 5) Mean U
	 6) Mean V
	 7) Mean current speed 
	 8) Mean current heading 
	 9) Wave heading
	10) Total depth 
	11) Significant wave height 
	12) Zero up crossing wave period
	13) Maximum U 
	14) Minimum U 
	15) Maximum V 
	16) Minimum V

626	 4) Mean U1 (lowest)
	 5) Mean V1
	 6) U2

	 8) U3      (highest)
	 9) V3
	10) Current magnitude 1
	11) Mag2 
	12) Mag3
	13) Current direction 1 (heading)
	14) Dir2
