NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 289 
New York University 
New York 53, New York 
DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY 
Current research projects in which students participate include 
research in ocean waves, air-sea boundary processes, solar radiation 
balance, turbulent dye diffusion, the large scale ocean circulation, 
and the equatorial Atlantic. Extensive analogue and digital computing 
facilities are available, such as a CDC 1604, BECKMAN 210 and smaller 
units. A sixty-five foot research ship, the KYMA, equipped with AC 
and DC power, radar, loran, gyrocompass, fathometer, Doppler navigator, 
deep sea winch, BT winch, dye diffusion gear, skin diving equipment, 
and data telemetry electronics is used for oceanographic investigations. 
Applications for graduate assistantships and graduate fellowships are 
available on request.
