Subj: Transfer of Alaska GLOBEC CTD Data Sets

Doug:

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 2 .zip
files, when opened, contain 5 CTD data sets and their associated
metadata entry forms (see below).  Four of the data sets are 
replacements for previously submitted files, one is a new data
set.  Please replace existing NODC holdings with these.  (several 
more cruises as resubmissions will follow under separate transmittal)

Cruise     Status          NODC Accession no.
------     ------          -----------------
HX201      resubmission     9800119
HX203           "              "
HX205           "              "
HX208           "              "
HX211      new data set      N/A

These data sets are the Alaska GLOBEC project.  Files contain
depth, temps., salinity, Sigma T, delta D, oxygen and 
fluorometer data.  These data were received from the Univ.of AK/
IMS DataBase web server.  They are "coastal ocean" data sets.
