in my previous e-mail i forgot to tell you that you will notice that there is a problem with the year in the S61A files. you will notice that some of the files have 1980 and 1996 written for the year. there was a problem with the software used and the years were recorded incorrectly. they should all be 2000. i did not make the correction on your data files. supposedly the problem has been fixed and we should be seeing files that have the correct year from now on. 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 *****************************************************************************
