??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am looking for computer readable (even scanable) sources of the following
data:

	1.  Sound Speed Profile (SSP), historically what the water
temperature been in this area;

	2.  Bottom province (MGS) regions, what the bottom is made of (mud,
sand, rocks, etc), and;

	3.  Ocean depths.

These data are often used in the production of oceanographic charts.  

I have found the ETOPO5 data base at the National Geophysical and
Solar-Terrestrial Data Center (Boulder, Colorado) and it contains elevation
and depth data worldwide in 5 minute steps.  But nothing for SSP or MGS data
bases.

Any help, or hints on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
