Frank:

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened,

contain 2 files of NE Pacific Ocean GLOBEC project bottle data sets. Data sets contain depth, temperature, salinity, Chl A, phaeophytin, PO4, NO3, Si, NO2, oxygen, PAR, transmissivity,

fluorescence and N+N. Data sets reflect two - year 2002 NEP cruises, one New Horizon

cruise, NH0207 and one Wecoma W0205. Each file has annotated into it, file parameters for the data set. The data were received courtesy of the U.S.GLOBEC data server website. These are "coastal ocean" data sets, NE Pacific Ocean, Calif. and Oregon Coastal. NEP project is the

California Coastal Study (CCS).
