4. More work is needed to improve and 

 evaluate certain types of measurements and 

 to provide some not presently available, espe- 

 cially in biological, chennical, and optical 

 oceanography. It seen-is particularly desirable 

 to find better means than volumetric for 

 measuring standing crops of zooplankton and 

 micronekton, or alternatively to find means 

 of making volunnetric measurements on nnajor 

 components of the zooplankton and micronekton 

 without undue expenditure of time. 



5. Some type of moored unmanned station, 

 capable of making and telemetering frequent 

 measurements of a wide range of physico- 

 chemical properties at levels between 1 m. 

 above and 100 m. below the sea surface, at 

 moderate cost, is a necessity. It is recom- 

 mended that the work to develop and test a 

 sea temperature-and-wind recording station 

 type be continued until one is available for 

 dependable routine use. Efforts should then 

 be put into: (a) devising procedures for serv- 

 icing and maintaining stations, and listing and 

 analyzing records; (b) developing instruments 

 to measure additional properties dictated by 

 the statistical-ecological part of the program; 

 (c) increasing the number of stations operative 

 in the eastern tropical Pacific; and (d) making 

 it possible for the stations to telemeter ob- 

 servations so that forecasts could be made.
