 DMO Notes: Data were recovered from HPSS CTD Seabird raw data files and
     are reported as 0.5 dbar pressure sorted profiles.  No comparison
     has been done with any in-situ data.  Use with caution.  The oxygen
     data appears to be of very poor quality, and all six Fgp pressure
     sensors returned values of 1.000 KPa in all but a few records.
