INTRODUCTION 



This second major revision of the National Ocean- 

 ographic Data Center's (NODC's) catalog Computer 

 Programs in Oceanography is issued to foster awareness 

 of computer programs related to oceanography and to 

 facilitate their exchange between interested groups. 



As in the first revision, the material is 

 arranged under subject headings, with each entry con- 

 taining the program title, program language, computer 

 system the program is written for, indication whether 

 a copy is on file at NODC, brief program description 

 provided by originator, and name and address of per- 

 son to contact for further details. 



This catalog only begins to reflect the present 

 programs originated by NODC for the new in-house com- 

 puter. Supplements or revised editions will be 

 issued, and abstracts of NODC's latest programs will 

 be incorporated, as well as contributions from other 

 institutions not received in time for inclusion in 

 this catalog. Also, a revised edition of the NODC 

 publication G-15, User's Guide to NODC's Data Proces- 

 sing Systems , planned for the near future will con- 

 tain updated computer programming information. 



Documentation on file at NODC or assistance in 

 locating a program can be obtained by writing to:
