In the table below, entries in the left column refer to the related documentation, while the numbers in the cells of columns LASA-B to LASA-J (K in progress) refer to the corresponding LASA-data files (e.g. ‘026‘ in column B refers to ‘LASAB026‘). Table entries are hyperlinks. Hovering over the waves in the header will show the years in which the corresponding measurements took place.
