Figure 23. Quantities of Data Contained in 

 MOODS Distribution Categories 



Each color pomi represenis the location of a particular oceanographu 

 measurement and indicates the rype of profile that was collected and 

 placed into MOODS. A blue point indicates a location where a depth/ 

 temperature profile is available. A red point denotes a combined depth/ 

 temperature/salinity profile. The map plots all of the data points available 

 in the public domain for the winter season. 



This figure compares the numbers of MOODS profiles that are available 

 in the various categories of accessibility. 



A large amount of MOODS data are already in the public domain 

 category. Many of the non-public domain data are not classified, but 

 restricted lusually as a result of some bilateral international agreement). 

 It is not necessarily the case, however, that the potential for gaining public 

 access to currently restricted data is greater than that for currently 

 classified data. 



Figure 24. Ship Survey Bioluminescence Data in the East China Sea 



These data show the intensity 

 of bioluminescence at a depth 

 of 3 meters. The maximum 

 activity is in the southwestern 

 part of the area and the 

 minimum in the southeastern 

 portion, which includes a part 

 of the Ryukyu Island chain. 



Unlike many ocean 

 characteristics that vary 

 by small amounts over even 

 very large areas, these data 

 exhibit variations greater 

 than an order of magnitude. 

 These measurements were 

 made in the same area as 

 poriions of the aircraft 

 surveys depicted in 

 Figure 20.
