Output of the Central Server / Data Assimilation System

Each file contains all information required to describe a current map.
  The file name is encoded in current.yyyy.mo.dd.hh.asc with
    yyyy = 2000        (year, 1999, 2000)
      mo =  02 ...  04 (month within the year)
      dd =  01 ...  31 (day within the month)
      hh =  00 ...  23 (hour)
    [ mi =  00 ...  59 (minutes) ]
  e.g. current.2000.02.22.06.asc
  The time is given in UTC 
The file can be named in a different way, but the content should fit the following structure
(example from the EuroROSE Fedje experiment):
Name: EuroROSE FEDJE CURRENT
Date: 2000 02 22 06 00
No. of positions:    3099
Latitude Longitude Sea_elevation Current_U(E/W) Current_V(N/S)
  60.304     4.033      -0.46         -0.02           0.08
  60.304     4.052      -0.46         -0.02           0.08
  60.304     4.071      -0.46         -0.02           0.08
  60.304     4.090      -0.45         -0.02           0.08
  60.313     4.033      -0.46         -0.01           0.08
  60.313     4.052      -0.46         -0.01           0.08
....
  The first line gives the name of the data set
  The second line gives the date (yyyy mo dd hh mi)
  The 3rd line gives the number of data lines to follow (e.g. 3099)
  The 4th line gives a description of the data lines to follow
  the next [3099] lines give the data
