The following is a description of the Larspec Data Base Ascii File
formats. The data are stored in ascii format in 80 byte records for
convenient transfer between microcomputers and easy review on computer
display screens. The format statements that could be used in a Fortran
program to read the data follow.

NOTES
The Larspec 'Crop or Soil' ID Word column refers to the word
location for the parameter as stored in the magnetic tape record format
described in 'LARSPEC Spectroradiometer-Multiband Radiometer Data
Formats'. The information in 'LARSPEC ... Data Formats' that is relevant
to the disk file format described here is given at the end in Tables 3-2
to 3-17.
M in the Larspec ID Word column indicates that this field is modified
in some way from the way it is stored on the Larspec magnetic tape records.
G in the Larspec ID Word column indicates that this field is from the
Larspec magnetic tape Sample Group ID record.
The table numbers listed in some of the parameter descriptions refer
to the tables given at the end. These tables describe any codes used for
the parameter.
The units for the data values stored in the data record are described by
the 'reformatting calibration code' (parameter number 67) and Table 3-3.
A '-9' in the numeric fields and blanks in the alphanumeric fields indicate
that no data are available for that parameter.
A '-1' in the data records indicates that no data is available for that
wavelength.
The E01, E02, I01, and I02 cards are only included once for each experiment
and disk file since the information doesn't change from observation to
observation for a given experiment and instrument.

Table 3-2. Descriptions of codes for serial number.
The ones column represents specific versions of the calibrated spectral data.
For example the data from the Exotech 20C in its original wavelength format
may be coded as 0 in the ones column of the serial number. The spectral data
after being averaged into .01 um bands may be coded as 6 in the ones column
of the serial number. The hundreds and tens' columns of the serial number is a
two digit number which is a code for the specific instrument used to collect the
spectral data. See below.
