INTRODUCTION 



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

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

 scientific reports derived from U.S. I DOE projects. The text is arranged ac- 

 cording to the program areas established 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 of reported observations 

 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 col- 

 lection 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 NCAA'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 1977. Each numbered area is about I.ICO 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
