     TIME        Fractional day of year    (Jan. 1 00:00 EST = 1.00)
     COMPH       Compass Heading                       degrees
     NORTH       Northward component of velocity       cm/s
     EAST        Eastward component of velocity        cm/s
     SPEED       Current speed			       cm/s
     DIR         Current direction		       degrees
     STD  SP     Std. dev. current speed	       cm/s
     TEMP        Water temperature		       deg C
     STD T       Std. dev. water temperature	       deg C
     ATTEN       Beam attenuation		       1/m
     STD TR      Std. dev. beam attenuation	       volts
     DEPTH       Water depth			       m
     STD DEP     Std. dev. water depth		       m
     W HGT       Wave height			       m
     W PER       Wave period			       s

Note that the beam attenuation (which is a measure of the water transparency)
has the units of 1/m, while the standard deviaiton of the measurement is in
volts.   This is because there is a log transform of the original measurement
(which is in volts).  Beam attenuation has a linear relationship to the
concentration of suspended material.
