The Global Ocean Chmate 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/ sahnity-temperature-depth (C/STD) data, (3) expendable bathythermograph (XBT) *FGGE = First GARP Global Experiment, also known as the Global Weather Experiment. GARP = Global Atmosphere Research Program. 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 programs of the 1980's and 1990's that are directed toward fuller understanding of tropical dynamics and their influence on global ocean/atmosphere phenom- 46.
