682 NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
DATA DISPLAY AND REPORTS 
Develop automatic controls for desired data outputs or formats according to specific user 
requirements. 
Investigate and develop data display techniques; e. g., in-line or off-line devices for plotting 
and/or contouring. 
Publish a series of atlases, but give emphasis to the development of the types of charts 
required; e. g., quasi-isentropic charts. These will be used for in-house quality control and also for 
the use of the oceanographic community. 
Compile and reproduce lists of publications containing information relating to the marine envi- 
ronment; produce series of manuals on data processing techniques and catalogs of holdings; make 
routine distribution of summarized and analyzed products. 
NODC FACILITY AND SERVICES 
Provide specialized personnel for surveys, projects, studies, etc. 
Arrange for translation services, manual or automatic. 
Establish a computer program library. 
Continue and increase NODC's role in participation in National and international expeditions 
and foster the use of NODC as the clearing house for the National effort in oceanographic data collec- 
tion and the medium of exchange with other national oceanographic centers. 
Establish adequate library facilities integrated with the data storage-retrieval system.
