Frank :

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened,
 contains a total of 8 files of data and one metadata info type file.  These data sets were 
extracted from the OSU, Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) web
site, and represent the January toAugust 2000 time series water temps. and salinity data for 
Yaquina Bay only. I have deleted the HMSC Aquaculture Lab temperatures and salinity data due
to a number of inconsistencies throughout the files.   These data are the same type of data as sent
and catalogued in my NODC accession no. 0000124, dated 04/25/2000.   These are "coastal
ocean" data sets.
