Doug:

     I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 13 ASCII
files,
including one ZIP file containing the 6 CTD cruises (see info below), 6
DDF
type forms and 6 metadata entry forms.  The data sets were received
courtesy of Dr. Tom Weingartner, Institute of Marine Sciences, Univ.
of Alaska, Fairbanks via IMS data manager, Mr. Chirk Chu.  The
transmitted
files represent this office' effort in editing and merging data and
header files together and removal of non quality controlled data (oxygen
and fluorometer).  The DDF type forms were compiled from an office
generated form merged with an edited version of Mr. Chu's submitted
header and .readme file for each data set.  I have copies of all of the
unedited, non merged CTD and header files if you need them.  These
CTD data sets are from two projects, 1998-99, one being the DENSE
WATER project (Bering Sea, mixed ocean) and the second 5 data sets
result from the GLOBEC program, Gulf of Alaska, Resurrection Bay 
and PWS coastal ocean data.
The NODC Catalog Information (below) has the necessary details.

  zipped file hxctd.zip. (about 700kb).  It's there and it works,
  I tried it.
