Frank:

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of
2 .zip files, when opened, contain 3 CTD data sets and their
associated metadata entry forms (see below).  These are the
latest CTD and associated variable data sets available via
the Alaska GLOBEC project.  Files contain depths, temps,
salinity, Sigma T, Delta D, fluorometer data.  The data
were received courtesy of the Univ. of Alaska/IMS and the
IMS Database web server.  These are "coastal ocean" data
sets.
