. Catalogue of data. Change notice / World Data Center A, Oceanography. Oceanography FGGE Operational Year Global Ocean Climate Data Base The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) is pleased to announce the availability of the Global Ocean Climate Data Base compiled as part of its efforts as the Responsible National Oceanographic Data Center for the FGGE* Operational Year (RNODC/FOY). The Global Ocean Climate Data Base is a collection of Oceano- graphic data submitted to NODC by 17 different coun- tries. Although the formal FGGE Operational Year was from 1 December 1978 to 30 November 1979, the data set covers the extended FOY period from 1 September 1978 to 29 February 1980. The data base includes four types of data: (1) oceano- graphic hydrocast (bottle) data, (2) conductivity/ salinity-temperature-depth (C/STD) data, (3) expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data, and (4) Eulerian current (current meter) data. The data are recorded on magnetic tape in two different formats: (1) the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission General Exchange Format 3 (GF3) and (2) NODC archive formats (different format for each of the four types of data). In GF3 the data base comprises eight magnetic tapes; in the NODC formats the data base comprises four tapes. The FGGE Operational Year was the culmination of a series of international ocean/atmosphere research pro- grams conducted in the 1970's. This effort, in turn, was a steppingstone toward the increasingly ambitious and large-scale research and monitoring programs of the 1980's and 1990's that are directed toward fuller under- standing of tropical dynamics and their influence on global ocean/atmosphere phenomena. *FGGE = First GARP Global Experiment, also known as the Global Weather Experiment.
