Frank:

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 5 files,including 2 .zip files, when
opened, contain 2 files of depth,bacteria abundance, biomass and chlorophyll a data (2 cruises)
and their associated metadata entry forms.  Also included are the accompanying cruise reports
and event log for LMG01-06.  These files result from the Southern Ocean GLOBEC project
study site, western Antarctic shelf.  Data were received courtesy of the U.S. GLOBEC web
server.  These are "coastal ocean" data sets.
