 Each file is a section intended to be at constant heading with the SeaSoar
 in tow.  These are flat files, with data every 2-db in the vertical and
 every 2-km in the horizontal.  The lat, lon, and yrday are the average
 values for the given column; each column runs from 1-db to 401-db at 2-db
 steps.  The sections are numbered sequentialy (line01, line 02, etc) and
 the connecting lines are indicated as such (line01-02, etc).
