APPENDIX IV 
OCEAN SURVEY PROGRAM FOR THE 1963 FIELD SEASON 
The tentative Ocean Survey Program for the 1963 field 
season is presented here to provide an example of the types 
of operations which the Ocean Survey Plan includes. This 
program is subject to modifications which may result from 
the annual planning and review conference and from changes 
in operational requirements during the year. 
A. Cooperative International Programs 
Detailed plans for the International Cooperative 
Investigations of the Tropical Atlantic (ICITA) and 
International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) have been pre- 
sented elsewhere and will not be repeated here. It is 
possible that a joint U.S.-Japanese program of underway 
Surveys will be undertaken in the North Pacific starting 
late in 1963. This program, however, is still in the pre- 
liminary discussion stage. 
B.. Pacitie Ocean 
The PIONEER (C&GS) will continue on Loran-C controlled 
ocean Surveys in the North Pacific between the Hawaiian Is- 
lands and the Aleutians, Underway operations with PDR, 
magnetometer, gravity meter, surface water measurements, 
and meteorological observations will be carried out in the 
holiday area between 155°45'W and 159°W working north from 
Hawaii to about 45°N. Upon completion of work in this area
