FIO-enhanced C-MAN data

[Coral Health and Monitoring Program]

An update to Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) enhanced 
Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) data from C-MAN stations in the 
Florida Straits has been made available on the CHAMP Home Page, 
specifically at: 

	http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov/cman/cman_menu.html 

Data are available through June, 1996, and include measurements for 
salinity and photosynthetically active radiation.  Header files for these 
data are the same as for previous years. 

Near real-time data are available at the same site, although some of the 
NDBC and/or FIO instruments are in the process of being replaced or 
repaired. 

NDBC data (only) may be retrieved from their Home Page at:
