INSTRUMENTS NEEDED FOR SURVEY SHIPS 



meteorological instruments. 



The most difficult system concep*^ is that for SURVEY SHIPS 

 (fig. 8.14). Again, I would like to repeat, because it is extremely 

 important, that we have a semblance of a prototype for each of 

 these devices mentioned here, but they do not really fulfill our 

 present-day survey requirement. 



If we can reduce the time required to conduct oceanographic 

 surveys by properly instrumenting vessels, and at the same time, 

 increase the accuracy and flexibility of those data, we will have 

 more than paid for the cost of developing and manufacturing the 

 instrunnents . At the same time, we will have added immensely 

 to our national oceanographic effort.
