Hint: To work with the raw files files, make a separate subdirectory for the cruise and download the compressed data file tar files to that cruise subdirectory. Then decompress and unpack only the .tar.gz files for that cruise into that cruise subdirectory. For example, to work with the VPR data files from OC469, on a linux system:

  1. mkdir OC469; cd OC469
  2. download all the  .tar.gz files for cruise OC469
  3. gunzip OC469_vpr.tar.gz
  4. tar -xvf OC469_vpr.tar

After the OC469 tar file is unpacked, it will require about 28 GB of disk space (the Total size noted in column (1), and you should have a collection of subdirectories similar to those listed above for OC469 VPR file set.
