330, Vol. 7. EASTROPAC Atlas: Physical Oceanographic 

 and Meteorological Data from Principal Participating 

 Ships and Oceanographer, Third and Fourth Monitor 

 Cruises, October 1967-January 1968. By Cuthbert M. 

 Love, (editor). July 1973, vii + 145 figures. 



ABSTRACT 



This atlas contains charts depicting the distribution of physical, 

 chemical, and biological oceanographic properties and associated 

 meteorological properties observed during EASTROPAC. EASTROPAC 

 was an international cooperative investigation of the eastern tropical 

 Pacific Ocean (20° N. to 20° S.. and from the west coasts of the 

 American continents to 119° W.) which was intended to provide data 

 necessary for a more effective use of the marine resources of the area, es- 

 pecially tropical tunas, and also to increase knowledge of the ocean cir- 

 culation, air-sea interaction, and ecology. The Bureau of Commercial 

 Fisheries (now National Marine Fisheries Service) was the coordinating 

 agency. The field work, from February 1967 through March 1968, was 

 divided into seven 2-month cruise periods. During each cruise period one 

 or more ships were operating in the study area. 



On completion of the field work the data seemed too numerous for a 

 classical data report. Instead, it was decided to produce an U-volume 

 atlas of the results, with 5 volumes containing physical oceanographic 

 and meteorological data from the principal participating ships, 5 

 volumes containing biological and nutrient chemistry data from the 

 same ships, and 1 volume containing all data from Latin American 

 cooperating ships and ships of opportunity. Extensive use was made of a 

 computer and automatic plotter in preparation of the atlas charts. 

 Methods used to collect and process the data upon which the atlas is based 

 are described in detail by the contributors of the following categories of 

 charts: temperature, salinity, and derived quantities; thickness of the 

 upper mixed layer; dissolved oxygen; meteorology; nutrient chemistry; 

 pnytoplankton standing stocks and production; zooplankton and fish 

 larvae; micronekton; birds, fish schools, and marine mammals.
