Ocean Sneaker's Tool (OST) is a freely available, newly developed software to display and generate table-organized-ASCII data files which can be shared with other programs. OST allows the option to include cruise-, station-, time-, date-, longitude-, latitude- and bottom depth 'metainformation' to measured values. It supplies several import routines for different data formats (CTD, Spectrafluorometer etc.) used e.g. in GLOBEC. The program simplifies data handling to more easily combine oceanographic and biological data.Actual versions available at:http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/Benthic/Ecosystem/Lifecycle/oceansneakerstool.html
