        <progress>Records generated from the 'tracer experiment' had been submitted to Denise&#160;Steigerwald (the MCM LTER data manager) in the same files as core LTER data sets. Denise&#160;therefore went through these files, separated out any records dealing with the tracer&#160;experiment, and created new files with a similar layout as the core datasets. Coordinates&#160;(latitude, longitude and elevation) were then tracked down for each of the records. The&#160; resulting 'tracer_locs.dat' and 'tracer_locs.txt' files were posted on the web in July, 2000.&#160;</progress>
