Frank:

I've just placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened, contains a 
total of 18 data files.  These include moored current meters, MicroCat and SeaCat CTD's,
and moored ADCP data (see below).  Data sets result from the Univ. Of AK/IMS - St.
Lawrence Island Polynya Dense Water Experiment (SLIP) project, 1998-99.  The data
sets were provided courtesy of Mr. Seth Danielson, data mgr., UofAK/IMS.  
Moored Aanderaa cm's data sets contain pressure, temps., salinity, and currents U and V
components.  MicroCat and SeaCat CTD's contain pressure, temps, and salinity data. Moored
ADCP's contain bin depth, U and V velocity data.
These are "coastal ocean" data sets.
