Dan,

The enclosed zip file has 20 folders, each containing the "bottom" portion of the NODC FTP file structure 
for an accession record.  I've named the folders by the area, but this name would of course be replaced 
with NODC accession numbers. So there will be 20 new accession records, each for an area&date, in keeping 
with the structure used previously.

For the metadata files in the About folders, I assigned dummy serial accession numbers just to keep 
things straight - xyz1 to xyz20. Those will have to be updated, as will the Publication date (entered 
as 201207XX). The dummy accession numbers also appear inside the metadata file in fields like the title 
and elsewhere. I've already cross referenced these new data to prior NODC accession records for the 
same site in each appropriate metadata file. 

In four cases (Boca Grande for instance), there are two data files within the 0-data folder, distinguished 
by the dates in the file name. Because of changes in some operating procedures (detailed in the relevant
metadata file), I've kept data files separate when these changes were implemented. 

Please call me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Mike
