                            is an archive of current speed and direction along 
                            with salinity and water temperature for global locations 
                            on a per-grid point basis. The source of GROW-HYDRO 
                            is through the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) HYCOM 
                            Global Reanalysis. 
                          All 
                            variables are provided for daily means at up to 40 
                            depths (surface to 5000 m).
                           
                            Variables include: Salinity (PSU), Water Temperature 
                            (deg C), Current Speed (cm/s), Current Direction (deg 
                            to), Eastward Current Velocity (cm/s), and Northward 
                            Current Velocity (cm/s).
                          Standard 
                            products include time series in ASCII format.
