GREAT CIRCLE RETRIEVAL LANGUAGE - FORTRAN 



COMPUTER - CDC 3800 



THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE — (1) GIVEN TWO POINTS ON 

 THE EARTH'S SURFACE. THE PROGRAM CALCULATES THE GREAT CIRCLE ROUTE BE- 

 TWEEN THE TWO POINTS AND THE CORRESPONDING MARSOEN SQUARES ALONG AND 

 AT A GIVEN DISTANCE FROM THE TRACK. THE DATA TAPES ARE SEARCHED BY 

 MARSDEN SQUARES AND THE SOUND VELOCITY PROFILES. TEMPERATURE, SALINITY 

 AND DEPTH OF OBSERVATION ARE ABSTRACTED. (2) INDIVIDUAL MARSDEN SQS. 

 MAY BE INPUT INTO THE PROGRAM AND THE ABOVE QUANTITIES ARE ABSTRACTED. 

 (3) A POINT, A RADIUS OF INTEREST IN NAUTICAL MILES. AND A CLUSTER OF 

 MARSDEN SQUARES MAY BE SPECIFIED. THE PROGRAM WILL ABSTRACT All THE 

 STATIONS WITHIN A CIRCULAR AREA OF THE POINT FOR THE GIVEN MONTHS. 

 THE INPUT RETRIEVAL PROGRAF,, BY WALTER YERGEN. USES DATA TAPES COMPAC- 

 TED FROM THE NODC FILE. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS — 105,056 OCTAL WORDS OF 

 CORE. AND ONE CDC DISC FILE,

CORE COMPUTER PROGRAM LANGUAGE - FORTRAN 



COMPUTER - (NOT GIVEN) 

 (COPY ON FILE AT NODC) 



A PROGRAM PACKAGE DESIGNED FOR USE ON A RECONNAISSANCE BASIS, LISTING 

 ALL CORES IN THE L-DGO COLLECTION CONTAINING CHARACTERISTICS SPECIFIED 

 BY THE USER. THE PROGRAM OUTPUTS THE REQUIRED LIST OF CORES WITH A 

 SHORT DESCRIPTION OF EACH CORE. AS SPECIFIED ON FOUR CONTROL CARDS. 

 CORES MAY BE REQUESTED FROM CERTAIN LOCATIONS. OF CERTAIN LENGTHS, 

 TAKEN IN A CERTAIN RANGE OF WATER DEPTHS. OF SPECIFIED AGE, LITHOLOGY 

 AND CONTAINING SPECIFIC PALEONTOLOG IC AND MINERAL06IC COMPONENTS. 

 CORES WHICH ARE ORIENTED, HAVE APPEARED IN PUBLICATIONS AND HAvE PAl- 

 EOMAGNETIC DATA AVAILABLE CAN ALSO BE REQUESTED.
