 Fatty_acid    fluxes of fatty acids                             ng/m^2/d
                 names have been prefixed with (fa_).  This 
                 prefix must be ignored when deciphering the 
                 fatty acid name.  Names are defined as 
                 number carbon atoms:number of double bonds.  
                 Prefixes i=iso, a=anteiso.

                 below water surface.
 n9_D          Nominal latitude (north 9) of the mooring array
