Bob,

The ICES files of German bottle and CTD data have been assigned
Accession Number 9800177.  The files have been copied and unzipped in
/usr/nodc/DATAIN/9800177.  In that directory, the file 9800177.txt
includes a brief abstract of the data set, and a summary of the number
of stations per ship.  There are a total of 54,496 stations collected by
56 ships from 1920 - 1989.  The file geo.gif shows the geographic
distribution of stations.  File date.dist shows the number of stations
per decade.

Doug
