Under the direction of Professor Andrew F. Bunker, Woods Hole 

 Oceanographic Institution will also operate a four-engined meteorological 

 aircraft over the Indian Ocean during I962, I963, and 1964. The plane 

 will be instrumented for the lay- scale determination of turbulent trans- 

 port and the various terms in the heat budget. Four six-week trips are 

 planned. The ATLANTIS II will be equipped with meteorological instruments 

 and will make observations in assistance of the program.
