\title{WOCE section a03}

\description{This is line A03 (ExpoCode 90CT40_1, with nominal sampling date
    1993-09-11).  The chief scientist was Tereschenkov of SOI, working aboard
    the Russian ship Multanovsky, undertaking a westward transect from the
    Mediterranean outflow region across to North America, with a change of
    heading in the last few dozen stations to run across the nominal Gulf
    Stream axis.}

\examples{
library(oce)
# Gulf Stream (note that section runs east to west)

GS <- subset.oce(a03, indices=124:102)
GSg <- sectionGrid(GS, p=seq(0, 5000, 100))
data(coastlineWorld)
plot(GSg, coastline=coastlineWorld, map.xlim=c(-80,-60))
