INTRODUCTION 



This report, the eighth in a series, provides the scientific community and 

 other interested persons with data inventories and lists of scientific reports 

 derived from U.S. IDOE projects. Detailed program descriptions and 

 accomplishments will appear in a separate publication, a 10-year summary of 

 IDOE. The text here is arranged according to the program areas established 

 for IDOE. Subprograms are given under appropriate programs. 



Appendix A contains the Report of Observations/Samples Collected by 

 Oceanographic Programs (ROSCOP), a summary of reported observations 

 received during the period covered by this Report. All IDOE grant holders 

 must submit ROSCOP reporting forms to NOAA Environmental Data and 

 Information Service's National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) upon 

 completion of a data collection activity. The ROSCOP summaries in Appendix 

 A follow the same program sequence as the text. 



Two charts follow the appendices. The first shows ocean areas for which 

 data and ROSCOP summaries have been received by NOAA's Environmental 

 Data and Information Service (EDIS) during the period covered by this report. 

 The second shows ocean areas for which data have been received by EDIS 

 from January 1970 to October 1979. Each numbered area is about 1,100 by 

 1,100 km (600 by 600 n.mi.) and, although entirely shaded, may contain only 

 one reported observation. 



EDIS has either the data or papers described in this report in one of its center 

 archives or can assist in obtaining them. Queries may be addressed to any of
