Abstract

The ROSE experiment (Ewing and Meyer, 1982) involved the participation of much of the U.S. marine seismic community. Prior to that experiment, wide consultation was made and much effort was expended in the intercomparison of instruments and in the establishment of a uniform, yet flexible, data exchange format. Results of the instrument intercomparison were reported earlier in this journal (Sutton et al., 1981) and the data exchange format is described in detail here. The participating institutions have provided their data to a central exchange facility at the University of Hawaii where the data are catalogued and distributed. We hope that the use of this format for the exchange of data from other experiments will reduce the time we spend on work of a housekeeping nature, time which is irretrievably lost to the pursuit of our scientific goals.
