NUMBERING SYSTEM
The 'SCIENTIFIC STA. NO," column in Table 4-3 incorporates
three identifying numbers. These numbers represent location,
User and station.
l.
The first number, Numerical Designator, is the same number
used for engineering drawings to define geographical location.
These numbers are indexed in numerical order in Table 4-1A
and by alphabetical location order in Table 4-1B.
2.
The second number, User Designator, indicates the User of
the station. These numbers are indexed in Table 4-2. The
User is the primary agency which has a requirementfor the
facility. A facility common to several Users has a User
designation of 0.
3.
The third number identifies a User's particular station at that
geographical location. This third number is assigned consecutively as station numbers are required. Separate scientific
stations located in a common facility are assigned separate
station numbers.
The scientific station numbering system is administered by the
Logistics Planning Group, and all station numbers are assigned
by that group.
