FOREWORD 



The ocean area off Point Arguello, California, offers 

 an interesting environment for oceanographic study. The 

 area is a region of interacting current regimes and water 

 masses. NAVOCEANO conducted two environmental surveys off 

 Point Arguello for the Pacific Missile Range in January 

 and November-December 1964. The primary purpose of the 

 surveys was to investigate the currents. This report 

 presents some analyses of the data collected with most 

 emphasis on the currents in the area.
