These data types have been discussed in other locations but this is a summary:
The UH LADCP cruise directory for a given cruise should contain the following data:

The disk, (say it’s called “data”), will have a subdirector for the present cruise (eg. km0508). Get the whole directory. It will include subdirectories: raw, rbin, gbin, proc
- VmDAS: Get everything for the whole cruise.
That will include all kinds of files, including suffixes (*LOG, *VMO, *ENR, *ENS, *ENX, *STA, *LTA) as well as the text file used for acquisition.
Lowered ADCP data (the whole ladcp logging directory)

- ctd_2db 2db processed CTD data; for science
- gps 1-second GPGGA data
- xbt (if they exist)
