From hendee at wave Tue May 23 11:03:52 1995 From: hendee at wave (James C. Hendee) Date: Tue, 23 May 1995 11:03:52 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Coral Health & Monitoring List-Server Message-ID: Greetings, We will soon be implementing a list-server for our Coral Health and Monitoring program. This e-mail service will function as a forum for information exchange, discussion, and recent news of interest to coral health researchers. List subscribers will also be able to request the following services: 1) Automated e-mail delivery of Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) data from stations at Fowey Rocks, Molasses Reef, Sombrero Reef, Long Key, Sand Key and Dry Tortugas. Other stations include those in the South Pacific, the Bahamas and the Flower Garden area in the northern Gulf of Mexico. You will be able to choose which stations you'd like, and the frequency of reporting (e.g., hourly, once-a-day, once-a-week, etc.). The basic data usually include wind speed and direction, sea surface temperature and barometric pressure. Florida Institute of Oceanography enhanced stations include salinity, and photosynthetically-active radiation (PAR). Additional parameters may be added in the future. 2) Automated facsimile delivery of the same data as in (1) above. 3) Automated e-mail delivery of uuencoded .GIF images of CoastWatch data from South Florida, including the Florida Keys. You may choose a frequency of several times per day, once-a-day, etc. For those of you who are unaware of what uuencoding is, it a method for transferring binary data (in this case satellite AVHRR images) as an ASCII message. When you receive the message, you use uudecode to decode the message back into a binary file, then view it on your PC, Macintosh, or Unix workstation. (Please note that the actual CoastWatch data files will not be available--those must be retrieved from Alex Chester of the CoastWatch program.) These and other services, such as an online compendium of published abstracts relating to coral health, and hypertext links to other coral health-related areas, will also be available soon at our World-Wide Web site: http://coral.aoml.erl.gov If you have any suggestions as to other materials you would like to see added to this service, any suggestions as to additional subscriber names, or if you'd like your name removed from this list, please drop a line at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your support. Sincerely yours, Jim Hendee +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | James C.

The FIO has hit the wall on funding and unless new sources are identified soon, we will be forced to close the Sand Key and Long Key stations and, more importantly, let our staff at the Key Marine Laboratory who maintain the stations go. I will be in contact with you early next month. In the meantime, if any of you has any good ideas, we would like to hear them. Cheers. John C.

Hendee) Date: Wed, 24 May 1995 14:39:22 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Sample C-MAN data Message-ID: Greetings, At the bottom of this message is a sampling of C-MAN data from the stations in the Keys. Salinity data have been removed because of some problems with some sensors, and a problem with our parsing code. We hope to begin sending these data to you soon, if you are interested in receiving them automatically. Otherwise, they will be posted on the Home Page at http://coral.aoml.erl.gov. Also note that our "Other Links" portion of the Coral Health and Monitoring page has been dressed up, and we expect the color output for the CoastWatch images will be improved soon, too. If there are other sensor data you feel would be of benefit to you, please drop me a line. Many thanks.
