NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
on the sea floor; current scour around objects on the 
bottom; biological fouling organisms, distributions of 
foulers, and rates of fouling. 
BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY 
Plant and animal groups in the oceans; character of the 
plankton, nekton, and benthos; marine biological environ- 
ments; oceanographic factors influencing populations; the 
effect of organisms on the physical-chemical properties 
of sea water; organisms responsible for boring, fouling, 
sound and light production, and sound scattering. 
CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY 
Chemical composition of sea water and sea ice; determin- 
ation and distribution of salinity, density, dissolved 
gases, and plant nutrients; production of fresh water 
from sea water. 
ARCTIC SEA ICE 
Arctic geography and oceanography; sea-ice observations, 
formation, properties, growth, deformation and disintegra- 
tion; ice drift in response to winds and currents. 
ARCTIC SEA ICE AND ICE FORECASTING 
Lectures same as in Oc-612(B). Laboratory exercises 
on ice drift and ice growth. 
OCEAN THERMAL STRUCTURE 
Reviews variation of ocean temperature structure and pro- 
cesses involved; techniques in forecasting thermal structure 
illustrated by laboratory exercises; practice in developing 
forecast methods from actual air and sea data. 
OCEANOGRAPHIC FORECASTING 
Prediction of ocean transports and advective effects from 
the atmospheric wind field using the hydrodynamical equa- 
tions and digital computations; prediction of long-term 
variations in oceanographic conditions using methods of 
cross-correlation and spectrum analysis. 
OPERATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY 
Applications of oceanography in ASWEPS, Arctic, submarine, 
weather, and other Navy operations; radar propagation.
