Hernan - 
The nutrient data is also on our GLOBEC LTOP web site, and this
would be the best place to get a complete set. You can access it
and download it using the same instructions from Hal (see below).
On the http://ltop.oce.orst.edu/ web site follow the links:
Data Links -> Nutrient and Extracted Chlorophyll Data -> and follow
the link there to the data. Click the Levels until you get to Level 4, 
and then click Flat list to see all the data. Save it in a file, and
you've got it.
-Let me know if you have any problem, Jane Fleischbein
