Fig. 3 - Ocean Science ImportanL to Ice PaLroi Vigilance--The constant study of tlie ocean currentSj which greatly influence iceberg movements, is important to the Ice Patrol's predictions and tracking plots for iceberg seasons. Here, a Salinity Temper- ature Depth Sensor system is used on the Coast Guard oceano- graphic vessel "Evergreen" on a mission to determine if the source of the Labrador Current is in the Hudson Strait. The Sen- sor systems instantaneously record readings of salinity, temper- ature, and depths down to 1,500

Who took cores in the Indian Ocean? Where? Who has them now? Were South Pacific plankton species studied during the austral winter? What was the total num- ber of United States research vessels opera- ting in the Atlantic during the last fiscal year' .â ?" World Data System As one of the two centers of the world data system^ NODC makes available to world's scientists information from a list of cruises included in a U. S. Declared National Program (DNP). Information from 366 cruises was identified as DNP. Vast Influx of Information A great stream of information flows into NODC. Oceanographic station data (Nansen casts) and bathythermograms continue to ex- ceed the influx of other data types. During FY 1968jOver 31,000 oceanographic stations and 110,000 BT observations were received. Biological data came at a rate of about 500 stations per month. In geology, a good start was made on sediment data from the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office and Scripps In- stitution of Oceanography. Seismic reflection.
