Date: 24 Sept. 2001 To : Frank Mitchell From: Sid Stillwaugh Subj: Transfer of California Coastal Optical Drifter Data Sets Frank: I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 4 .zip files, one containing 22 data files, the second has the associated documentation (metadata entry forms) files, and the third has 5 informational files, the fourth has the 22 calibration files supplied with the data sets (see below). The fifth file sent is a data processing information file (not zipped). These were an OSU/ORSOO project upwelling and downwelling irradiance, locations and sea surface temperatures data, deployment periods 1993 to 1996. The data were received courtesy of the Oregon State University's Remote Sensing (ORSOO) web server. These are "coastal ocean" data sets.
