>> Could anyone define "bogo-knots" for me, or refer me to a site > with that info? >From the XTide FAQ: Q: What are bogo-knots? A: Way back before I found out that hydraulic current stations generate results that are actually in units of knots squared, I didn't know what units they were, so I called them "bogo-knots." Since that time, I have (1) changed the units in my source data to knots squared, and (2) added functionality to XTide version 2 to convert these to regular knots. Therefore, if you are still seeing bogo-knots, then you are definitely using obsolete data and an obsolete version of XTide, or accessing a web site that is using obsolete data and an obsolete version of XTide. I am not the maintainer of any such web sites, and I recommend upgrading to XTide 2, which will barf all over any harmonics files that still contain "bogo-knots." http://www.universe.digex.net/~dave/xtide/faq.html Woody *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Apr 01 1999 - 13:21:22 PST
