The following gives the format code, the format and an example of each station list format included:

The entries in each column do not have to be lined up in any way.
Any number of spaces may be used to separate the values
in each column. However, each parameter must have a value,
ie a blank value is not permissable. The first nine columns have specific
values. They may be followed by one or more words used as comments.


STA     - Station name
Lat     - Latitude, decimal, (N is positive)
Lon     - Longitude, decimal, (E is positive)
Elev    - Elev in km above sea level or above ellipsoid (not yet standardized
).
             Use 9.999 if unknown.
DA      - Horizontal datum. 84 means WGS84, UN means unknown, 27 means NAD27.
             WGS84 is the new standard. Use coordinates in this datum when
             they are known.
NT      - Station network, normally two characters. For example UW HW, US,
          TA. Use  underscore "_" if unknown.
F       - Funding agency, eg %, H, #, E. Use "_" if unknown
startday- station install date in format YYYYMMDD (use 00000000 for unknown)
endday  - station end date in format YYYYMMDD. (use 00000000 for unknown,
              and 99999999 to indicate that the station is currently running)
.
Comment - The first two characters of the comment cards are the state where
the station is located, followed by one or more words to describe the
station components, station name, etc.
