WERA Surface Current Measurements ==> Central Server / Data Assimilation System

  The file name is encoded in yyyydddhhmm_ccc.cur_asc with
    yyyy = 2000        (year, 1999, 2000)
     ddd = 032 ... 092 (day within the year, e.g. 01-Feb to 31-Mar)
      hh =  00 ...  23 (hour)
      mm =  00 ...  59 (minutes)
     ccc = nic         (code for experiment, e.g. nic = Nice)
     cur = cur / wav   (cur indicating data set for 'currents')
                       (wav indicating data set for 'waves')

  The time is given in UTC and indicates the start time
  of a 10 minute average. 

  During the EuroROSE Experiments (Fedje and Gijon) the files have 
  been renamed to indicate the center of a 10 minute average.

  The first line gives the number M of HF radar sites
     FORMAT(x,i3)

  The next M lines give:
     date/time of the start of the measurement, 
     name of the site, 
     LAT / LON of site,
     and 'WERA', indicating this measurement has been
     conducted by the University of Hamburg WERA,
     FORMAT(x,a34,f10.5,a6,f10.5,a17)

  The next line is empty.

  The next three lines give the description of the measurement grid
     followed by the actual values:
     LAT(1,1), LON(1,1) -- upper left corner of the grid in degrees
                           West, South -> negative values
     DGT[km]            -- grid spacing in LAT and LON direction in kilometers
     NX                 -- number of grid points in East direction
     NY                 -- number of grid points in South direction
     FORMAT(x,f9.5,x,f10.5,f9.3,2(x,i4))

  The next line is empty.

  The next line gives the number N of data lines in the file to
     follow after the description lines.
     FORMAT(x,i8)

  The next two lines decribe the parameters of the following
  N data lines:
     IX         East count of measurement grid
     IY         South count of measurement grid
     U[m/s]     East component of the surface current
     V[m/s]     North component of the surface current
     KL         Class information
                0: radial components of at least two radar sites are available
                1: one radial component is available (from site 1)
                2: one radial component is available (from site 3)
                n: one radial component is available (from site n)
     Acc_U[m/s] Accuracy of the East component of the surface current
     Acc_V[m/s] Accuracy of the North component of the surface current
