Dear Hernan

I loaded the Chilean data via FTP without problems in the right place.

I tried to create a folder for Chile, but the directory "pub / incoming" 
would not let me.

Uploaded files correspond to:

CF1STD.OFQ
CF2STD.OFQ
CF3STD.OFQ
CF4STD.OFQ
CF7STD.OFQ
CF8STD.OFQ
ParaOceanDataView.txt
DataFormat.doc

These data correspond to the oceanographic information (depth, temperature, 
salinity and density) obtained under the framework of projects CIMAR FIORDOS 
(hence its acronym) developed since 1995 to date. The objective of this 
program, is to study oceanographically the remote areas of our territory.

The files *.OFQ found in our standard format, correspond to a modification of
the format U.S. NODC-1964. The description of each field in this format, is
attached in the document DataFormat.doc.

Finally, as your presentation is in a few days, collect all the data, 
independent of the cruise (about 517 stations) and TXT format takes to be 
easily readable and plotted with the tool OceanDataView (ParaOceanDataView.txt 
file). Therefore, this last file considers all oceanographic stations sent.

I hope this information will serve you for your presentation, any questions let 
me know.

Finally, us at the Chilean NODC are in the process of updating and reorganization. 
One of our tasks is to define a new data format. In that respect I think it's 
essential to have advice from you. I hope we stay connected on this issue.

Many greetings

Atte.
