INTRODUCTION 



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

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

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

 ing 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 and 

 Information Service's National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) upon 

 completion of a data collection activity. The ROSCOP summaries in Appen- 

 dix 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 NOAA's Environ- 

 mental Data and Information Service (EDIS) during the period covered by 

 this report. The second shows ocean areas for which data have been re- 

 ceived by EDIS from January 1970 to April 1978. Each numbered area is 

 about 1,100 by 1,100 km (600 by 600 nmi) and, although entirely shaded, 

 may contain only one reported observation. 



EDIS either has the data or papers described in this report in one of its 

 center archives or can assist in obtaining them. Queries may be addressed
