ABSTRACT 



Oceanographic surveys from aboard USS REQUISITE were 

 conducted in the upper Persian Gulf during February and 

 March 1960 and in the lower Persian Gulf, the Strait of 

 Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian Sea during 

 January through March 1961. 



Two hundred and sixty-one oceanographic stations were 

 occupied. In addition, 1280 BT's, 110 bottom sediment 

 samples, and 22 current measurements were obtained. 



Temperature and salinity profiles, temperature-salinity 

 curves, and current direction and speeds are presented and 

 discussed; bottom sediment analysis sheets are included.
