INTRODUCTION 



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

 other interested persons with information, data inventories, and lists of 

 scientific reports pertinent to IDOE. The first progress report covered the 

 period January 1970 to July 1972. 



The text of this report is arranged according to the program areas 

 established for IDOE. Details on subprograms are given under appropriate 

 programs. Bibliographies follow subprogram text. 



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 

 program sequence as the text. 



The chart following the Appendix shows ocean areas for which data, 

 NAMDI forms, and track charts have been received by EDS. Areas are de- 

 linated by squares of approximately 600 by 600 nautical miles. Although an 

 entire square is shaded on the chart, it may contain only one reported 

 observation. 



EDS either has the data, information, track charts, and papers described 

 in this report in one of its center archives or knows where they may be 

 obtained.
