 These data are from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution surface
 mooring deployed at 15.5N, 61.5E from October, 1994 to October 1995.
 Record range: 1994-10-16 00:11:15 through 1995-10-19 23:56:15
 Sample rate: 7.5 minutes

 Parameter       Description                             Units

 year            year of observation, either 1994 or 1995
 yrday           Day of year for 1994, Jan 1 00:00:00 is day 1
		    observations begin October 16, 1994 (day 289)
		    Note that this number continues to increment by one
		    until end of observations and does not initialize to 1
		    on January 1, 1995.

 Missing data are filled with the value 9.999999E+29
 Heat fluxes are positive for ocean heating


These data were collected with support from the Office of Naval
Research, grant N00014-94-1-0161.  If you use any of these data in a
publication, please acknowledge Dr. Robert Weller and the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution when using the data.

This dataset contains heat and momentum fluxes computed on Jun 24, 1996 
by Mark Baumgartner using modified TOGA COARE bulk flux algorithm 
version 2.5.  Warm layer and cool skin adjustments are included. Fluxes 
due to rain (heat or momentum) are NOT included in the net heat flux and 
wind stresses.

Please contact Dr. Robert Weller or Mr. Mark Baumgartner if
you have any questions regarding this dataset.
