Figure 13. Organization, Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment. 



As shown in Figure 13, working groups of investigators representing 

 diverse techniques are determining the optimum form of arrays of fixed 

 instruments, the patterns of shipboard and airborne measurements, and 

 the appropriate bottom topographic survey. 



These and other considerations are being addressed by the Array 

 Committee, the Bottom Experiment Committee, the Density Committee, 

 and others reporting to the Scientific Council. This kind of activity 

 would not so seriously engage attention were it not for the joint nature 

 of MODE. 



Work has begun on planning for the preparation and analysis of 

 data. Data work-up will begin with preparation, listing, and publishing 

 results, and submitting data to the National Oceanographic Data Center. 

 The Publications Committee will supervise publication of a complete data 

 report. A general article describing the main highlights of the whole 

 project will be prepared by late 1973 under the joint authorship of the 

 principal investigators.
