INTRODUCTION 



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

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

 scientific reports derived from U.S. IDOE projects. The text is arranged accord- 

 ing to established program areas for IDOE. Details of subprograms are given 

 under appropriate programs. Currently funded projects are listed. Bibliographies 

 follow subprogram text. 



Appendix A contains the Report of Observations/Samples Collected by 

 Oceanographic Programs (ROSCOP), a summary inventory of reported observa- 

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

 must submit ROSCOP reporting forms to NOAA Environmental Data Service's 

 National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) upon completion of a data collec- 

 tion activity. The ROSCOP summaries Appendix A follow the same program 

 sequence as the text. 



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

 data, ROSCOP summaries, and track charts have been received by NOAA's 

 Environmental Data Service (EDS) during the period covered by this report. 

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

 January 1970 to April 1976. Each area is about 1,100 by 1,100 km (600 by 

 600 nmi) and, although entirely shaded, may contain only one reported 

 observation. 



EDS either has the data, track charts, or papers described in this report 

 in one of its center archives or knows where they may be obtained. Queries
