FOREWORD 



The Hydrographic Office, in an effort to provide up-to-date navi- 

 gational charts to the Navy and merchant marine, is constantly engaged 

 in surveying areas of the world oceans. During these hydrographic 

 surveys, supplemental oceanographic data are collected whenever 

 time, ships, and personnel are available. 



This procedure has on several occasions resulted in collection 

 of timely oceanographic information which adds appreciably to the 

 understanding of localized ocean areas. 



A description of the oceanography based on data obtained during 

 a contemporary survey of Kuwait Harbor is presented by this report.
