INTRODUCTION 



This report provides the scientific community and other interested persons 

 with information, data inventories, and lists of scientific reports pertinent to 

 IDOE. 



The text is arranged according to the program areas established for 

 IDOE. Details on subprograms or projects are usually given under appropriate 

 headings whenever possible; Seabed Assessment cruises, however, cross project 

 lines. This report includes information on projects begun before 1970 and 

 now funded by IDOE. 



The Appendix contains the National Marine Data Inventory (NAMDI), a 

 computerized summary of reported observations made at sea during the period 

 covered by this Report. All IDOE grant holders must submit NAMDI or 

 equivalent reporting forms, e.g. Cooperative Investigation of the Caribbean 

 and Adjacent Regions Data Inventory (CICARDI), to the National Oceanographic 

 Data Center (NODC). In this report the NAMDI's are arranged in the same proj- 

 ect sequence as the text, but concern only the Environmental Quality, Environ- 

 mental Forecasting, and Seabed Assessment Programs. 



The chart inside the back cover shows ocean areas for which data, NAMDI 

 forms, and track charts have been received by EDS. Areas are delinated by 

 squares of 600 by 600 miles. Although an entire square is shaded on the 

 chart, it may contain only one reported observation. 



EDS either has the data, information, and papers described in this report 

 in one of its center archives or knows where the data may be obtained.
