Introduction
The strata sequence currently used is J3B, it is a sequence based on the J3 data and is unique to J3. It is derived from the JPD sequence developed during the September/October 2011 study season. (The JPD sequence was formed by the amalgamation of unit sequences from J1, J2, J3, and J5.) The previous unit sequence, J3A, can be found here.
