Doug:

I have placed on NODC's LO FTP site 12 PKZIPPED DOS files 
containing the various associated data files (see list below)
from six moored current meter arrays located on the northern
limits of George Bank, Nov 1995 - Sept 1996.

PIs responsible for the data are as follows:

Dr. Peter Smith, Coastal Oceanographic Div., Bedford Institute of
Oceanography, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada

File name(s)
A..PKZIPPED FILES:
     5WINC2.ZIP
     5WINC2a.ZIP
     5WINNECW.ZIP
     5WNNECWa.ZIP
     5WINNECE.ZIP
     5WNNECEa.ZIP
     6WSC2.ZIP
     6WSC2a.ZIP
     6WSNECW.ZIP
     6WSNECWa.ZIP
     6WSNECE.ZIP
     6WSNECEa.ZIP
     
The file names can be translated as follows: 
5 OR 6 = YEAR 1995, 1996
WIN OR WN = WINTER (Nov -Dec 95), WS = WINTER/SUMMER (Jan-Sept    
  96)
C2, C2a, NECW, NECWa, NECE, NECEa = MOORING NAMES, Note the "a"   
  versions of each mooring name
ZIP = DOS PKZIPPED FILE

B..DATA FILES WITHIN A ZIPPED FILE 
Within each zipped file is one file per meter and a catalog file.
The file names can be translated as follows (ie 5WINC2a.28)

5 = 1995
WIN = WINTER
C2a = MOORING NAME
.28 or cat = DEPTH OF METER ON THE MOORING, or catalog file
   
C..Catalog entry file:
Within each zipped file is a *.cat file containing the catalog
entry file  
     
D..Sampling/methods documentation:

Smith, Peter C., 1995.  Cruise Report, C.S.S. Parizeau Cruise 95-
034 to the Scotian Shelf and Georges Bank, Nov. 24 - Dec 3, 1995.
U.S. GLOBEC, December 1995.
