NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 635 
Oceanographic Station Data 
At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1962 the NODC archives consisted mainly of oceanographic 
station data for the North Atlantic Ocean area; during the year, increased emphasis has been given 
to processing data for the Pacific and Indian Oceans. To the best of our knowledge the only un- 
processed Indian Ocean data are recent observations which were received by NODC late in Fiscal 
Year 1962. The Indian Ocean Geo-Sort is completed and a listing is being readied for release. 
Work has begun to adapt the existing holdings to the approved NODC Physical-Chemical 
Oceanographic Station Punch Card and recomputing sound velocity values according to Wilson's 
formulas. It has been definitely established that the basic NODC files will retain material in metric 
units insofar as feasible.
