reads <NGDC-id>.[mgd77|nc] files and produces an ASCII
[or binary] table. The <NGDC-id>.[mgd77|nc] files
contain track information such as leg-id, time and position,
geophysical observables such as gravity, magnetics, and
bathymetry, and control codes and corrections such as Eotvos
and diurnal corrections. The MGD77+ extended netCDF files
may also contain additional user columns (for a listing of
available columns, use <b>mgd77info −C</b>, and to
learn how to add your own custom columns, see
<b><A HREF="mgd77manage.html">mgd77manage</A></b>). The user may extract any combination of
these parameters, any of six computed quantities (distance,
heading, velocity, Carter correction, and gravity and
magnetic global reference fields), calendar sub-units of
time (year, month, day, hour, min, sec), the NGDC id, and
finally a preset weight (see <b>−W</b>). A sub-section
can be specified by passing time- or distance-intervals
along track or by selecting a geographical region. Finally,
each output record may be required to pass any number of
logical tests involving data values or bit flags. <i><br>
NGDC-ids</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be one or more of five
kinds of specifiers: <br>
1) 8-character NGDC IDs, e.g., 01010083, JA010010etc., etc.
<br>
2) 2-character <agency> codes which will return all
cruises from each agency. <br>
3) 4-character <agency><vessel> codes, which
will return all cruises from those vessels. <br>
4) =<list>, where <list> is a table with NGDC
IDs, one per line. <br>
5) If nothing is specified we return all cruises in the data
base. <br>
(See mgd77info <b>−L</b> for agency and vessel codes).
The ".mgd77" or ".nc" extensions will
automatically be appended, if needed (use <b>−I</b> to
ignore certain file types). Cruise files will be looked for
first in the current directory and second in all directories
listed in <b>$MGD77_HOME</b>/mgd77_paths.txt [If
<b>$MGD77_HOME</b> is not set it will default to
<b>$GMT_SHAREDIR</b>/mgd77].</p>
