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.
