Frank :

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened,
 contains a total of 10 files of data and one metadata info type file.  These data sets were 
extracted from the OSU, Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) web
site, and represent the March to Dec. 2001 time series water temps. and salinity data for Yaquina
Bay only. I have deleted the HMSC Aquaculture Lab temperatures and salinity data due to a
number of inconsistencies throughout the files.   These data are the same type of data as sent and
catalogued in my NODC accession no. 0000124, dated 04/25/2000.   These are "coastal
ocean" data sets.
