Frank:

Enclosed, find paperwork and one CD ROM product containing a copy of the available
Southern Calif. Coastal Water Resources Project Authority (SCCWRP) available 
data base files.  Data sets include SCCWRP reference, restoration and survey projects, roughly
from 1977 through 1999.  These data sets are quality checked, all data sets include compliant
metadata files and have been received from the SCCWRP web server with approval of SCCWRP
data management.  
Rather than going into great detail regards SCCWRP itself, and the data enclosed, I have
included
necessary paperwork to describe the agency, it's projects for which data were received and 
information regards the data folders and files on the CD.
In some of the enclosed paper directories information (reference projects and Santa Monica
restoration project) you'll see reference to both zipped file and to the opened files.  However,
to avoid any confusion, I've only enclosed the zipped data sets.  Unzipped files will contain all
data and metadata, all data except one file, I believe are text files.  I saw one MS Access data
base file.
For your information, here's the layout of the CD regards folders and files within.

Main directory is : SCCWRP
Under this you will find six folders, each with a zip file containing the projects data.

                     ***********************

As mentioned, some of the enclosed printed directories show the opened files
(reference projects, Santa Monica project), however, I have only placed the zip files in the
CD's folders.  When opened, you will have all available data and metadata.
Also, for your information, is the SCCWRP web site, any additional information needed,
further info as to the data, recapture of the data, etc.

Would you please send me the NODC accession no. as one is assigned to these data sets.
