RECOMMENDATIONS 



1. Expand facilities on the NEL Oceanographic Research Tower 

 to meet the need for a larger work area. 



2. Initiate new research, including investigations with radar, 

 infrared, and laser, and at the air sea interface. 



3. Build a new similar tower west of the present one, in water 

 100 feet deep. This deeper tower will: 



(a) Permit study of water- structure features at greater 

 depth and allow for investigating the seasonal 

 thermocline for longer periods of time. 



(b) Facilitate joint research projects with ships, sub- 

 marines, and other submersible vehicles requiring 

 deep water. 



(c) Serve as a second platform for intertower acoustic 

 studies.
