           Water Temperature File Format Information
                                
The information in this section provides the data users with information about file name
significance and a description of the data.  The file naming convention explanation
describes the type of data and the region which the data represents, while the data
descriptions include field column descriptions and field descriptions.  All collected data
is within the 14 year period from 1984 to 1997.

File Naming Convention Explanation
     
The first four characters denote the data component
     temp = temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit)

Except for the weekly averages for each pool; in this case the file is simply named 
           wkmean = weekly mean temperatures

The last two to three characters denote the pool number for which the data represents.
     Example:
                  tempp4 = temperature data for Pool 4

Data Descriptions

                   Field Column Descriptions

The "Format column" contains the following format specifiers:
     c = alpha character/symbol/digit
     n = numeric value, any digit from 0-9

For files entitled tempp4 to tempp26, this section provides information on the
organization and the field position and the format of the data.

For wkmean, containing the weekly temperature averages for each pool, this section
provides information on the organization, field position and the format of the data.
                                
The data is arranged in columns where "week" occupies the first column and each
pool's weekly temperature averages are listed thereafter, starting with Pool 4.  The
columns containing the temperature data do not include specific headings,  but each
                pool's position is given below.

Describes the pool for which the data belongs, beginning with POOL 4 and ending with
POOL 26, excluding POOL 23.
