Transfer Schedule:

        The .00 and .a1 files will be sent out on a daily basis. Once a month 
        we will send the .01 and .b1 files for the previous month.  

Additional Notes:
   
       sgp30okmX1.01 and sgp30okmX1.b1            
       Currently, as of 9/21/2001, we have obtained the raw 30 minute data
       for only the dates 19980101-19991231.  These data will be sent   
       to the Archive.  Since data following 20000101 present an    
       additional cost, the need for additional data after this date 
       is being assessed. If acquired, additional 30 minute raw data 
       will be sent at a later date.                              
   
       Ingested (".b1") data for dates 19980101-19991231 will be sent to the 
       Archive as soon as its processed.
