Back to top: Strata for Unit J5
Introduction
The strata sequence currently used is J5B, it is a sequence based on the J5 data and is unique to J5. It is a component of the final version of the JPD developed during the 2011 and 2012 study seasons. (The JPD sequence was formed by the amalgamation of unit sequences from J1, J2, J3, and J5.) The previous unit sequence, J5A, can be found here.
