Ignore my last e-mail. I was able to copy it to your ftp site. Pat_ShipboardCTD2.zip is the correct one which I'm sure you would have realized since the other one is empty. Let me know if I can help. Happy Holidays!

                                Aloha Abby,

                                That's great to hear you are working with CRED,
                    awesome,
                                congratulations.

                                Yes, would love to receive all you have.  I've already
                            received
                                CTD data from CRED in the past which are posted at:

                                              http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/accession/details/38588
                                              http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/accession/details/52123
                                              http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/accession/details/36670
                                              http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/accession/details/39382
                                (this one has 1.1 and 2.2, latter is replacement)

                                For any of these, you can click "archive" then
                    you'll see a
                                directory tree.  If there is directory 1.1, then chose
                            that one.
                                 If there is a directory 1.1 and a directory 2.2
                    (like 39382),
                                then 2.2 is replacement for 1.1.

                                When you go to 1.1 or 2.2, then information about
                    the set
                            is in
                                directory /about.  The file simple_metadata.txt is
                    the one
                            that is
                                easy for humans to read.  The xml files are same
                    info, but
                            targets
                                for computers to search.

                                These can give you an idea of what was done in the
                    past.

                                The main points are:
                                1. any well-described format is fine
                                2. please clarify if files are "raw" or "processed,
                            calibrated,
                                ie, science-ready".

                                Likely I can find data reports online at
                                http://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/library/cruise.php, so I can
                            build the
                                metadata.

                                Once ready, you can place files in my incoming ftp
                    area:
                                ftp://kia.soest.hawaii.edu/incoming/caldwell/ then
                    pop me
                            an email.

                                mega thanks, let me know if I can be of service to
                    you.

                                Cheers, Pat

                                    How are you? I am currently working for CRED, the
                            oceanography
                                    team at Kewalo basin, processing CTD data for
                    them. I have
                                    finished processing all shipboard CTD data and
                    Jamie
                            informed
                                    me to contact you as you make this data
                    available to the
                                    public for them. I processed data for recent
                    cruises
                            and also
                                    for cruises as far back as 1999. Do you want
                            everything I've
                                    processed?  How would you like me to get you this
                            data? Thanks
                                    and Happy Holidays,
                                    Abby
