INTRODUCTION 



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

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

 tific reports derived from IDOE. The text is arranged according to established 

 program areas for IDOE. Details of subprograms are given under appropriate 

 programs. Ongoing (currently funded) projects are listed. 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 equiva- 

 lent reporting forms, such as Report of Observations/Samples Collected by 

 Oceanographic Programs (ROSCOP), to NOAA Environmental Data Service's 

 National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). In this report the NAMDIs are 

 arranged in the same program sequence as the text. 



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

 NAMDI forms, and track charts have been received by NCAA's Environmental 

 Data Service. Areas are delineated by squares of about 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.
