Anne-Marie, Thanks for forwarding the files - we assigned NODC Accession Number 0000213 to this shipment. The earliest date I found in these data is January 13, 1999, in file PJJU.06e; thanks for getting rid of the early dates. I noticed that the longitude hemisphere in file PJJU.06j is 'E'. If you agree, we will change the hemisphere to 'W'. I am retiring on July 28, so please send future emails to fmitchell@nodc.noaa.gov and mhamilton@nodc.noaa.gov. Regards, Doug At 02:28 PM 07/17/2000 -0400, you wrote: delayed mode xbt files have been placed on your server. i made a thorough check of the dates so we shouldn't have to deal with the date problem this month. if you have any other problems with these files, please do not hesitate to contact me. anne-marie **************************************************************************** Anne-Marie Wilburn phone: 305/361-4336 NOAA/AOML/PHOD e-mail: wilburn@aoml.noaa.gov 4301 Rickenbacker Causeway fax: 305/361-4392 Miami, Florida 33149 *****************************************************************************
