 Frank: 

 I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 2 .zip files, when 
 opened, contain field period 1999 to 2001, Hydrothermal VENTS project
 moored current meter data sets with associated variables (temps., press.)
 and their  accompanying metadata entry forms (see below).
 These are VENTS project, west coastal (NE Pacific) data sets. The data set was
 received courtesy of the PMEL - Coastal and Arctic division.
