. Catalogue of data. Change notice / World Data Center A, Oceanography. Oceanography RNODC FOY 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 Oceangraphic data submitted to NODC by 17 different countries. 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) oceanographic hydrocast (bottle) data, (2) con- ductivity/ salinity-temperature-depth (C/STD) data, (3) expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data, and (4) Eulerian currrent (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 culmina- tion of a series of international ocean/atmos- phere research programs conducted in the 1970's. This effort, in turn, was a steppingstone toward the increasingly ambitious and large- scale research and monitoring pro-grams of the 1980's and 1990's that are directed toward fuller understanding of tropical dynamics and their in- fluence on global ocean/atmosphere phenomena. *FGGE = First GARP Global Experiment, also known as the Global Weather Experiment.
