A new digital data tape format has been developed to be used for
data from the WHOI/Brown CTD microprofiler. CTD-78 Version 1 as detailed
in this report is designed as a flexible and expandable internal
data format adapted to the Hewlett-Packard 2100/21MX series
16-bit mini-computers currently used to transcribe and process CTD
data at sea. The ten record types presently used in this multifile
tape format store CTD and associated water sample data and the labeling
information needed to convert the data to physical units. Record
types are identified by unique keywords .
