<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>x_over</b>
is used to inspect two cruises to see if they intersect, and
if so report the time, position, discrepancies in
gravity/magnetics/bathymetry, heading for each track
segment, and the average values of the geophysical
observables at the cross-over point. The names of the legs
are passed on the command line. If they are identical or
only one name is passed, then <b>x_over</b> looks for
internal cross-overs. The optional parameters are:</p>

<h2>BEWARE</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The COEs found
are printed out to standard output in ASCII format. The
first record contains the leg names and their start year,
whereas subsequent records have the data for each COE
encountered. The fields written out are lat, lon, time along
track #1, time along track #2, x_gravity, x_magnetics,
x_bathymetry, average gravity, average magnetics, average
bathymetry, heading along track #1, and heading along track
#2. Sign convention: If lega and legb are passed on the
command line, then the COE value is Value (lega) - Value
(legb). It is recommended that the Akima spline is used
instead of the natural cubic spline, since it is less
sensitive to outliers that tend to introduce wild
oscillations in the interpolation.</p>
