Dataset Description:

These files contain ozone data from the RON BROWN collected 
by the University of Maryland during the INDOEX project.

The data were collected during the three legs of the ship Ron Brown's
voyage, and are stored in files named in the table below.

Leg     Time Period          Filename
---     -----------          --------
Leg 1   Feb. 22 - March 1    leg1.o3.30min
Leg 2   March 4 - March 23   leg2.o3.30min
Leg 3   March 26 - March 30  leg3.o3.30min

A TECO 49 ozone instrument was used to collect the data.  The data have been 
averaged into 30 minute time bins.  The given time (DOY) for each record is the 
average time for data included in the averaging period.

File Format:

The data columns are DOY (decimal day of year, DOY 32.5= noon GMT on Feb 1) 
during year 1999, latitude, longitude, ozone mixing ratio in ppb, the instrument 
mode (can be ignored), and the number of data points that went into that average.
Missing data are indicated by -999.  Columns are delimited by commas.
