The following example illustrates the format and naming conventions used at the WCATWC. Sea-level data is logged to disk in station specific files. Filenaming conventions encode the site name, date, year, and data type into the file name. For example, adak_A_2007.134 where: adak is the site abbreviation, A is the sensor being recorded 2007 is the year, and 134 is the julian day Each file is prefaced with four header lines followed by the data. The header format is: Line 1: SiteName PlatformID Operator TransmissionType Latitude Longitude Date Line 2: SensorType WaterLevelUnits TimeZone SampleRate SampleRateUnits ReferenceDatum RecordingAgency ProcessingInfo Line 3: Comment Line 4: Data Format The following listing shows the header lines and the first and last five data values for the adak file used as an example above: Adak,_AK 9461380 NOS Continuous 51.863 -176.632 20070514 NGWLMS m UTC 1 min MLLW WCATWC Unfiltered 1_minute_NOS_data_via_GOES Data Format: SampleTime(epochal 1/1/1970) WaterLevel SampleTime(yyymmddhhmmss) 1179100800 1.288000 20070514000000 1179100859 1.288000 20070514000059 1179100919 1.290000 20070514000159 1179100979 1.291000 20070514000259 1179101039 1.294000 20070514000359 . . . . 1179186899 1.217000 20070514235459 1179186960 1.218000 20070514235600 1179187019 1.222000 20070514235659 1179187080 1.222000 20070514235800 1179187139 1.226000 20070514235859
