Frank :

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened,
 contains a total of 8 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 July to December 2002 and the January and February 2003
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.
