calculated. Continuity equations then yield the mean rates of evaporation, 

 heat flux, and the stress over the area. These results will be compared with 

 the corresponding values calculated from fluctuations and profiles. To achieve 

 resolution of 0.1 cal cm-2min-l in water vapor flux it will be necessary to 

 detect humidity differences of about 0.3 g kg"-'- on opposite sides of the 

 enclosed region. 



Dr. Franklin Badgley and four University of Washington scientists unloaded 

 and assembled MENTOR in Bombay in late January 1964. On February 11, the 

 chartered Dutch tug OCEAN towed the buoy to a spot 65 km west of the city. 

 The intensified aircraft-buoy atmospheric- sea interface program was completed 

 by mid- March 1964. 



U. S. COAST GUARD 



During May 1961, the U. S. Coast Guard Icebreaker EAST WIND, returning from a 

 trip to the Antarctic with oceanographic observers from the Hydrographic 

 Office aboard, occupied a line of hydrographic stations from Fremantle west 

 to 78°E, then to ho^ (Tressler, 1963) . Her track is shown in Figure 20. 



U. S. NAVY 



Survey vessels of the U. S. Navy have planned and occupied hydrographic 

 stations in the Persian Gulf and Andaman Sea, as shown in Figure 20. Swinnerton 

 and Sullivan (1962) have reported some of the results. 



The research vessels CHAIN of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, ARGO of 

 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and CONRAD of Lamont Geological Observatory 

 are owned by the U. S. Navy, and their operations are supported by the Office 

 of Naval Research. The Office of Naval Research also supports part of the 

 operations of the VEMA and HORIZON. The Navy is also providing one R5D aircraft 

 for use in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution meteorological program and 

 is supplying a NOMAD weather station. Support has been given to the National 

 Oceanographic Data Center for research on data processing for the NOMAD buoy 

 observations. 



U. S e WEATHER BUREAU 



INTERNATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORY AT BOMBAY 



The Weather Bureau has assigned two full-time meteorologists, Dr. Jose Colon 

 and Mr. James Nicholson, to the International Meteorological Observatory at 

 Bombay to participate in the meteorological program under the direction of 

 Dr. Ramage. Mr. Nicholson entered on duty at Bombay on September 29, 1962, 

 on a two-year assignment. Dr. Colon arrived on December 21, 1962, for a one- 

 year tour of duty.
