MARMER—Current studies in the Chesapeake Bay 
in cooperation with Virginia Institute of Marine 
Sciences and Chesapeake Bay Institute. 
Pacific-Indian 
PIONEER—Working International Indian 
Ocean Expedition in Bay of Bengal, Andaman 
Sea and Indian Ocean, enroute measurements of 
gravity, magnetic field, bottom topography, tem- 
perature structure, surface temperature and 
salinity, surface and upper air meteorological 
observations, plankton hauls, productivity stud- 
ies. Cooperating with Weather Bureau, USGS, 
NavOceano, BCF, Scripps Institution of Oceanog- 
raphy and University of Hawaii. Special surveys 
in Philippine, Yap and Mariana Trenches. Special 
intensive study of Palau Trench in cooperation 
with Geological Survey. 
SURVEYOR—Profiles of gravity, magnetic field, 
bottom topography, and other oceanographic and 
meteorological observations between Hawaii and 
the Aleutians, east of 170°W. Also, intensive 
study of a selected seamount in cooperation with 
University of Hawaii and USGS. Water circula- 
tion, and changes in geophysical properties near 
seamounts will be studied. Oregon State Univer- 
sity is cooperating to supply gravity meter and 
geophysicists. 
PATHIFINDER—Hydrographic, magnetic 
oceanographic surveys off Maui and inshore sur- 
veys in Cook Inlet, Alaska. 
BOWIE and HODGSON—Water 
Puget Sound, Washington. 
LESTER JONES and PATTON—Hydrographic 
surveys in Clarence Strait and Carroll Inlet, 
Ketchikan, Alaska. 
OCEANOGRAPHER-—Shakedown trials, some oce- 
anographic surveys depending on scheduled time 
available.

Atlantic 
Ocean Station Vessels. Eighteen of the ships of this 
type will be equipped with oceanographic 
winches and laboratories developed from tests of 
different methods used on board CGC CASCO. 
Monthly observations of standard sections are 
planned. Plankton samples will be taken in co- 
operation with Lamont Geological Observatory. 
Underway plankton samplers are being used be- 
tween stations “B” (56-30 N, 51-00W) and “D”

Marine Laboratory. 
EVERGREEN —Survey Grand Banks-Labrador Cur- 
rent-Gulf Stream area from March through July 
for International Ice Patrol Operations. Will 
enter Labrador Sea and Davis Strait on a post- 
season cruise. Also will make thirtieth annual 
occupation of the oceanographic section between 
Labrador and Greenland. 
AIRCRAFT—Airborne radiation thermometer 
flights between Cape Cod and Cape May, in co- 
operation with Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 
Wildlife.

NORTHWIND-—Survey and research operations in 
Arctic Ocean. Cooperation with ONR, Nav- 
Oceano, and non-government agencies. 
OCEAN STATION VESSELS—“N” (30°N-140°

working platforms on opportunity basis. 
Pacific 
Palau Trench work in cooperation with C&GS, 
cooperating with Hawaiian Volcano Observatory 
and C&GS with dredge and photographic methods 
in study of submarine lavas of the Pacific. Joint 
C&GS survey from U.S. Pacific Coast westward.

The BCF plans to continue to place biologists and 
biological sampling equipment aboard the survey 
vessels of other agencies working in the Atlantic. 
They will also participate in the final phases of the 
International Cooperative Investigations of the 
Tropical Atlantic and conduct investigations on 
the distribution of bottom fauna in the northwest 
Atlantic in relation to geological factors.
