FOREWORD 



The Naval Oceanographic Office conducted an extensive 

 oceanographic survey in the Kara Sea during the summer and 

 fall of 1965. Data from 163 ocean stations provided infor- 

 mation which allowed a detailed analysis of the marine 

 environment. The major emphasis of this technical report 

 is on the water masses x^/hich either enter or originate in 

 the Kara Sea.
