Hi John-
Thanks very much for the help. I can't believe we missed the convention attribute. Now I have a file that shows up in ToolsUI-4.2 as a station on the PointFeature tab- great progress! However the altitude and nobs fields that are displayed when you click "station" don't seem to be interpreted correctly, and I'm not sure what to change to make what's in our files gets represented correctly. The height, elevation or altitude of the measurements is in the depth variable, with the attribute positve=down. I'm not sure what else is needed to get this parsed as altitude. Something special in the standard_name attribute? 

yes, standard_name = "station_altitude";

im seeing some other problems i need to investigate, i will get back to you.
