Closed mcfogarty closed 5 years ago

At https://lkilcher.github.io/dolfyn/data-structure.html#user-metadata-dat-props, it says "for example, it may be convenient to store the position of the instrument in dat.props['lonlat']".

Please define appropriate signs for direction - is west longitude negative and north latitude positive?
