It was the first time that com- plete information on the total national marine- science effort became available in one place. NODC also filled a role in global oceano- graphy: It was one of two nerve centers pro- viding information to oceanographers every- where. The second center is in Moscow. NODC is sponsored by U. S. Government agencies interested in the marine environ- ment. It is governed by an Advisory Board representing these agencies and the National Academy of Sciences. The U. S. Naval Ocean- ographic Office manages the Center. NODC's mission "is to acquire, process, preserve, and disseminate unclassified oceanographic data for scientific, industrial, and defense ;. Reorganizes to Meet Challenge Early in 1968, NODC reorganized its oper- ation to cope with the great changes taking place in data gathering. Nansen bottle casts are being replaced by continuously recording salinity-temperature-depth (STD) systems that can be kept in place. The mechanical bathythermograph (BT) is giving way to the more exact XBT. More buoys are being an- chored throughout the oceans. These are equipped to sense and record great amounts of data. The types and amounts of oceano- graphic data received from manned and un- manned satellites are increasing Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
