 pressbin    sample depth from bin averaged CTD           decibars
 ctdtemp     CTD temperature                              degrees C
 ctdsal      CTD salinity (PSS-78) when bottle tripped    dimensionless
 ctdsig_t    CTD sigma-t                                  kilograms/cubic meter

 qflag       quality flag, good (-) or suspect (*)
               stations with a * have problems with the
               data reported for that bottle. (mis-trips,
               suspect salts, etc).  See PI-Notes for details.
