Oceanographic Surveys, Fiscal Year 68
Abstract
This report describes and locates all the unclassified oceanographic surveys done by or contracted for the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office during the period 1 July 1967 through 30 June 1968. The summary accounts of each survey accounts of each survey cruise indicate the reports that are available or in preparation to describe more fully the work done. Inquires concerning any particular survey should mention the operation number to ensure ready reference. Personnel of the Oceanographic Surveys Department, Naval Oceanographic Office, participated in 99 deep ocean and nearshore surveys during Fiscal Year 1968. The surveys were conducted for seven Office designated operational projects which are under the cognizance of the Oceanographic Surveys Department. This report summarizes the objectives of the seven projects and the surveys completed in Fiscal Year 1968. The report is arranged by projects and includes brief descriptions of the projects, the surveys conducted, and the work accomplished on the surveys. Twenty-six figures are presented showing the ships' cruise tracks and/or survey area locations. The centerpiece is a composite of the ocean areas surveyed in Fiscal Year 1968. Table 1 lists the cruises and the data collected, and Table 2 lists the unclassified publications reported during the fiscal year. The numbered paragraphs are informative descriptions of each cruise or survey. Included are the names of chief scientists and/or project coordinators, information as to where the data are located, and what kind of report, if any, is planned or being prepared. The paragraph number is a reference number assigned which corresponds with the shins' tracks or area locations in the figures and the cruise summaries in Table 1.
