PREFACE

The six-volume Catalogue of Data and the loose-leaf Change Notice Num-
bers 1-16. which have been integrated into the Catalogue, list all oceanographic
data received by World Data Center A, Oceanography, from July 1957 through
June 1975. The Catalogue has a loose-leaf arrangement of sheets, which have
been punched for standard three-ring binders. It includes station location charts
for many cruises.

Beginning with Change Notice No. 17. each Change Notice is printed in a
modified format as a separate, bound publication describing all data received
during a particular six-month or one-year period. The six-volume Catalogue of
Data, including Change Notice Nos. 1-16. continues to serve as a reference volume
for data received from July 1957 through June 1975. Provision has been made in
the modified format for correlating newly received data for a particular cruise with
data previously received for that same cruise and already described in a prior
Change Notice.

The capability for identifying those data, which have been machine-pro-
cessed by a national, regional, or responsible national oceanographic data center,
has been retained in the modified catalogue format. In addition, this format
provides a column for listing the catalogue number from the WDC-A, Oceanogra-
phy, Catalogue of Accessioned Publications, thus identifying the published report
in which the referenced data appear.

Until recently, data gathered before the beginning of the IGY in 1957 had
not been extensively accessioned by World Data Center A, Oceanography; how-
ever, international bodies, such as the IOC/IODE's Group of Experts on RNODCs
and Global Programs have called for WDCs, Oceanography to accession as much
historical data as possible, in order to augment the data bases required for sup-
port of Climate Research and Global Change Programs. Thus, the acquisition of
pre-IGY, as well as post-IGY data, has become a high priority goal for WDC-A.
The Catalogue now contains pre-IGY data accessioned by WDC-A and available in
automated form to requesters in the international oceanographic community.

WDC-A, Oceanography, welcomes suggestions for improved ways to present
information in the Change Notices to the Catalogue of Data. It will make every
effort to promptly correct any cataloguing error or omission brought to its atten-
tion.

VI

INTRODUCTION

The World Data Center system was established in 1957 to collect data from
the numerous and widespread observational programs of the International Geo-
physical Year (IGY) under the principles set forth by the International Council of
Scientific Unions (ICSU) and to make such data readily accessible for an indefinite
period of time to interested scientists and scholars. The system consists of World
Data Center A (WDC-A) located in the U.S.A.; WDC-B located in the U.S.S.R.;
WDC-C located in Western Europe and Japan; and WDC-D located in the People's
Republic of China. WDC-A is established under the auspices of the U.S. National
Academy of Sciences, where the Coordination Office is located. WDC-A is divided
into twelve discipline subcenters whose addresses are given on pages iv and v.
These centers are located in institutions which, in the opinion of the Academy, can
best serve the interests of science because of their data-handling capabilities for
the appropriate scientific disciplines. WDC-A, Oceanography, is collocated with
the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) in Washington, D.C.

After completion of the IGY program, ICSU delegated the responsibility for
the operation of the World Data Centers to its Comite International de
Geophysique (CIG) and subsequently to the ICSU Panel on World Data Centres.
The framework for continued international exchange of oceanographic data is set
forth in ICSU's Guide to the World Data Centre System and the Intergovernmental
Oceanographic Commission's (IOC's) Manual on International Oceanographic Data
Exchange.

The types of oceanographic data desired for inclusion in the World Data
Center system are those from international cooperative expeditions, Global Change
and Climate Research Programs, and those associated with various countries' Na-
tional Oceanographic Programs. Data are to be exchanged internationally in accor-
dance with provisions of the IOC's Manual and the ICSU Guide. Lists of National
Oceanographic Programs are compiled by various national committees on oceanog-
raphy and submitted to the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission for dis-
semination to the international oceanographic community.

Contributors of oceanographic data to the World Data Center system and
national committees on oceanography are urged to compare the Catalogue of Data
with data gathering cruises and expeditions listed in IOC information documents
or on-line information systems to determine whether the cruises actually com-
pleted agree with those listed and to ensure that the data resulting from them are
transmitted to the World Data Centers in the manner prescribed by the IOC
Manual and the ICSU Guide. Data need not be limited to those identified in IOC
documents or on-line systems; WDC-A, Oceanography, welcomes all data that fall
within the framework of the ICSU Guide and the IOC Manual and that contribu-
tors may wish to include in the World Data Center system.

HOW TO USE THE CHANGE NOTICE TO THE CATALOGUE OF DATA

Catalogue Numbering System

The catalogue numbering system uses groups of numbers and letters to desig-
nate identifying references for purposes of data archiving and retrieval. A catalogue
number consists of numerals for the assigned: series, country, institution, ship and
cruise.

Series — The catalogue numbering system is divided into basic groups called
series. At present, these consist of the 100 series for data from ships and other
mobile platforms and the 200 series for data from shore and fixed stations in the
following categories:

a. Coastal and island stations.

b. Near shore manned stations; i.e., lightvessels and platforms.

c. Offshore manned stations; i.e., ocean weather ships.

d. Unmanned stations; i.e., automatic buoys.

e. Stations on shipping routes.

f. Offshore reference stations visited regularly.

g. Cables in use for oceanographic observations.

h. Repetitive drifting observations; i.e., ice islands,
drifting buoys.

Country — A list in the Indexes section includes all countries and institutions
from which this Center has received data during this period together with their
discrete identifying numbers. The series and two-digit country number comprise
the first three digits of the catalogue number.

Example: For country number 01, Argentina, data from ships and mobile
platforms are catalogued as 101, and data from shore and fixed stations as 201.

NOTE: The designations of countries used in this catalogue do not imply

the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of this Center
concerning the legal status of any country or territory, or of its
authorities, or concerning the delineation of the frontiers of any
country or territory.

Institution — An institution which contributed data, either directly or
through its designated national agency or national, regional or specialized oceano-
graphic data center, is assigned a decimal number following the series/country
number.

Example: The number 101.01 is assigned to data taken by ships and mobile
platforms and received from the Argentine Servicio de Hidrografia Naval, and the
number 201.01 is assigned to data taken at shore and fixed stations and received
from the same institution.

Ship — Each ship, or in some instances a group of ships operating to-
gether, is assigned a letter following the series/country/institution number. The
letter is followed by a number assigned to the particular cruise as the data are
received.

NOTE: The term "cruise" is used in this catalogue to define, whenever
possible, the beginning and ending dates of a series of data col-
lected by a ship, usually identified by the contributing institution
with a cruise name and/or number. Sometimes it is necessary to
group together several series of data from one or more ships under
one catalogue number.

Example: The first cruise data received from the Argentine Servicio de
Hidrografia Naval are from the ship CAPITAN CANEPA, which is assigned the
letter A, followed by the number 01, thus A-01; the second cruise is A-02, the
third A-03, etc. Thus, the catalogue numbers 101.01 A-01, A-02, A-03, etc.

A similar system is used in the 200-series for ships but is not applied to
lightvessels and fixed shore stations; for the latter the ship/cruise identifier is
omitted. For these categories, the series/country/institution numbers are given,
but the lightvessel's or station's name must be added instead of the ship/cruise
number to complete the catalogue identification.

Example: The Canadian station at Triple Island is identified as: 206.03
Triple Island.

A shore station is listed under the country in or near whose territory it is
located. If observations are carried out and the data contributed by an institu-
tion of another country, the observing country's name and institution are listed
after the name of the country of location.

How to Use the Alphabetical Index

1. Look up the name of the ship or fixed station in the Alphabetical Index
where the related country/institution/ship catalogue numbers are listed.

bers.

2. Look up, under the respective countries, the indicated Catalogue Nura-

How to Use the Geographical Index

1. Obtain the geographic area number and name from the Geographical
Index Charts.

2. Look up the list of catalogue numbers of available data for the area in

the Geographical Index.

3. Use these catalogue numbers to locate information about the types and
amount of data available.

How to Obtain Data from WDC-A. Oceanography

When communicating with the Center for additional information concern-
ing data, always refer to the specific catalogue numbers for data of interest to
you. The catalogue numbers are designed to speed the identification and re-
trieval of the information or data you need.

Address all correspondence to:

Director, World Data Center A, Oceanography
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Washington, D.C. 20235, U.S.A.

If you telephone, the numbers are:

The Director: 202-606-4507.
The Associate Director: 202-606-4571.
The Data Archives: 202-606-4571.
FAX: 202-606-4586

If you wish to visit the Center, its office hours are from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m., Monday through Friday. The Center is not open on Saturdays, Sundays,
and U.S. national holidays. If you wish the use of study space, you should if
possible give the Center advance notice so that necessary arrangements can be
made. There is no charge for the use of study space.

Data Exchange Policy of World Data Center A. Oceanography

World Data Centers are held responsible for the provision of data and
information to qualified requesters in the scientific community either in ex-
change or at a cost not to exceed that of processing and shipping. Unless a re-
quester specifies otherwise, the Center is responsible for using the method which
most satisfactorily reproduces the data or information item at the least cost. For
certain types of requests, limitations in funding, personnel, or facilities may
preclude direct or free provision of data or information by the World Data Center.

Data exchanges between WDC-A, Oceanography and WDC's in the same
discipline usually take place without charge for routine exchanges of mutually
agreed-upon types of data received by WDC-A in internationally-approved data
exchange formats and in readily reproducible media forms. Non-standard data

types are not normally exchanged. The ICSU Panel has now recognized that it is
not always economically feasible to copy large data sets from one WDC to an-
other. For certain types of data, the exchange of inventories of available data in
a WDC subcenter may be considered acceptable in lieu of the transfer of the
actual data sets.

In general, reasonably-sized requests from national or regional contribu-
tors to WDC-A, Oceanography may be considered as exchange, and equivalent
data thus provided to the requester without charge. For requests for unusually
large amounts of data, for specially formatted data, for derived data products, or
for data to be obtained from outside the WDC system, WDC-A will normally be
required to recover the costs of processing and shipping, or, at its discretion, may
arrange for the request to be serviced by an RNODC or a regional, national, or
disciplinary center. WDC-A may serve as an intermediary or coordinator for
requests for unique types of data or data in other disciplines by placing the origi-
nator of the request in contact with the appropriate institution or disciplinary
center.

Normally, WDC-A, Oceanography considers its data exchange commitment
with a cooperating Data Center to be limited to the servicing of those requests or
routine updating requirements intended to build or enhance standard data bases
operated by that Center for specific, mutually agreed-upon data types and geo-
graphical areas of national or scientific interest. If the availability of funding
and resources permit, WDC-A also attempts to assist such cooperating Data
Centers when they require special data sets for institutions that are performing
project-related research for international climate and global change programs
and/or that have historically contributed data to WDC-A, Oceanography through
that Data Center. WDC-A, Oceanography is obliged, in any case, to follow the
exchange and cost recovery policies of its sponsoring (funding) government
agency, while attempting to maintain consistency with data exchange guidelines
of the ICSU Panel on WDC's as published in the ICSU Guide.

Data and information may be requested from WDC-A, Oceanography
through NODCs, Designated National Agencies, or any other organization identi-
fied by national or international initiatives as responsible for communication
with the World Data Centers. These materials may also be requested directly
from WDC-A, Oceanography. Organizations, institutions, or individuals from
Member States of the IOC may apply to the IOC Secretariat or UNESCO for
possible assistance in funding their projects.

Data Centers or institutions in the international community that have
acquired an automated data set or specialized data product from WDC-A must be
aware that original data sets are updated from time to time, errors corrected, or
spurious data deleted by the originating data center. Where duplicate data sets
are deliberately held in this way, the holder is responsible for making regular

contact, as required, with the originating center to check whether the old data set
is still valid, whether it should be deleted, or whether new data are available.
WDC-A bears no responsibility in the conduct of these arrangements, except as
regards the provision of information in its role as a coordination and referral
center.

Acknowledgment of Data Sources

In many instances, data contributed to the Center are unpublished at the
time of receipt. Unpublished data are identified in the Change Notice by the
absence of a publication number in the column entitled Data Center Reference
Number. Accordingly, as stipulated by the Guide, recipients of copies of such data
from the Center are reminded that the rights of the original investigators must
always be respected. Thus, it is requested that if any data supplied by
WDC-A, Oceanography are published, due acknowledgment be made of
the institution (and where appropriate, the principal investigator) which
undertook the original observations. To facilitate proper acknowledgment,
the Change Notice indicates the originating institution.

PART I

CATALOGUE INDEXES

EXPLANATION OF THE ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF SHIPS

AND FIXED STATIONS

This index presents in alphabetical order the names of the ships, lightvessels,
platforms, and shore stations that are listed on the Data Information sheets.

Ship or Fixed Station — The name of the ship, lightvessel, platform, light-
house, shore station, etc. Names of ships and lightvessels are given in capital let-
ters, with lightvessels identified by (LV) after their name. All others not so identi-
fied are shore or other types of fixed stations.

Country — The name of the country that used the ship to collect data, or the
name of the country in or near whose territory fixed oceanographic station observa-
tions were made. If the data were collected by an institution of another country, the
contributing country is listed after the one where the observations were taken.

Catalogue Number — The country and institution numbers and ship letter
assigned to each ship are given in this column to facilitate locating data information
in the catalogue.

EXPLANATION OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX

The Geographical Index is based on the divisions of areas shown on the three
charts immediately preceding the Index. These divisions are defined in "Limits of
Oceans and Seas," Special Publication No. 23 of the International Hydrographic
Bureau, third edition, Monaco, 1953. To define the extensive areas of the Atlantic,
Indian, and Pacific Oceans more specifically, the following subdivisions have been
added:

23 - North Atlantic Ocean

23a - Northeast Atlantic

23b - Northwest Atlantic

45 - Indian Ocean

45a - Northwest Indian

45b - Northeast Indian

45c - Southwest Indian

45d - Southeast Indian

SO - Southern Oceans

South of latitude 50° South

32 - South Atlantic Ocean

32a - Southeast Atlantic

32b - Southwest Atlantic

57 - North Pacific Ocean

57a - Northwest Pacific

57b - Northeast Pacific

61 - South Pacific Ocean

61a - Southwest Pacific

61b - Southeast Pacific

The catalogue numbers of ship cruises extending into any of the areas, or
shore or fixed stations located in the areas, are listed under the area's number and
name.

CATALOGUE

EXPLANATION OF THE WDC-A, OCEANOGRAPHY
DATA INFORMATION SHEET

The Change Notice lists on Data Information sheets the data which have
been received by this Center. The entries are described below. Countries are
arranged in the sequence shown in the numerical list of countries. Data from
each country are arranged in the sequence of catalogue numbers. The 200-series
data sheets follow the last 100-series data sheet in the catalogue.

Country I Catalogue Number — The series number and two digit number
of the contributing country, as well as the identifying number for the data infor-
mation, are given in this column. Details of the catalogue numbering system are
given in the section "How to Use the Change Notice to the Catalogue of Data".
The numbers corresponding to the country and institution portions of the Cata-
logue Number are found in the index section that lists countries and contribut-
ing institutions.

Country I Ship or Fixed Station — The country name, as well as the names
of ships are printed in capital letters; lightvessels are identified by (LV) follow-
ing the name. All other names not so designated are those of shore stations and
other types of fixed platforms, such as lighthouses (LH) or offshore towers;
names are reported as they appear with the data.

Start Date I End Date — The dates during which the data were gathered
are given in the order of day/month/year. In some instances, depending on the
nature of the project, the dates indicate the beginning and ending of a cruise or
expedition, while in others the dates indicate the first and last observations. For
shore and fixed stations months and years only are usually given.

Region — The region(s) of the World Ocean where observations were gath-
ered. The areas listed are defined in "Limits of Oceans and Seas," International
Hydrographic Bureau, Special Publication No. 23, third edition, Monaco, 1953,
with certain modifications as indicated in the Catalogue Indexes section.

Oceanosraphic Serial Stations:

Number of Stations — The number of oceanographic serial stations (also
referred to as hydrographic, hydrographical, hydrological and hydrochemical
stations by various authorities) at which serial measurements of temperature,
salinity, and other chemical values are made, normally to depths of five meters
or greater. Data to depths less than five meters are usually catalogued as Sur-
face Observations. The single dagger symbol (t) is used to denote data obtained
by electronic, in-situ, Salinity/Temperature/Depth (STD) or Conductivity/Tem-
perature/ Depth (CTD) sensors.

23

Physical and Chemical Data — The types of physical and chemical data,
available at serial depths as observed and as computed values, are listed using
the following symbols and abbreviations:

T - Temperature of the water sample

CI - Chlorinity

S - Salinity

02 - Dissolved oxygen content

C02 - Carbon dioxide

pH - Hydrogen ion concentration

Alk - Alkalinity

N - Nitrogen compounds

P - Phosphorous compounds

Si - Silicon compounds

sig-t - Density of the water at T & S in-situ

and at atmospheric pressure

SVA - Anomaly of specific volume

TherAnom - Thermosteric anomaly

AD- Anomaly of dynamic heights

PE - Potential energy

PT - Potential temperature

Q - Q factor for transport computations

Vs - Speed of sound

NOTE: Chemical compounds may also be indicated
by standard chemical symbols.

Sample Depths — The depth, or range of depths, to which the predomi-
nant number of samples/casts for that particular cruise were observed. They are
recorded to the nearest 100 meters, except when the observations are in water
less than 100 meters in depth, in which case they are usually recorded to the
nearest 10 meters.

Maximum Depth — The actual depth of the deepest sample/cast for a
particular cruise or data set and is not rounded off.

BVs — The type and number of mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) or
expendable bathythermograph (XBT) observations are indicated by:

MB - Analog prints of bathythermographs taken by a
mechanical BT
MTb - Tables or listings of mechanical BT temperature readings
at selected depths
XB - Analog prints of bathythermographs taken by an
expendable BT

24

XTb - Tables or listings of expendable BT temperature readings

at selected depths
DTb - Table or listings of digital BT temperature readings at

selected depths
STb - Tables or listings of bathythermographs reported at

selected levels only, eg. 5m intervals

Currents — The types and quantity of observations of surface and subsur-
face currents are indicated by:

Surf - Surface
Subs - Subsurface

Biological — The types of marine biological observations made and the
number of stations and/or abundance of data are indicated by any of the follow-
ing categories:

Phyt - Phytoplankton

Pigm - Pigments

PrPr - Primary productivity

Zoo - Zooplankton

Nek - Nekton

Eggs - Fish eggs and/or larvae

Micr - Microbiological data

Biol - Bioluminescence

Poll - Pollution studies

C14 - Carbon

Surf - Surface visual observations of birds, fishes
mammals, reptiles and discolored water

Meteorological — The types of meteorological observations taken in con-
junction with oceanographic data are indicated by:

Wd - Wind direction and speed
W - Weather

Ta - Temperature of the air, dry bulb

Tw - Temperature of the air, wet bulb

Bar - Atmospheric pressure, barometer

Cld - Clouds

Vis - Visibility
Hum - Humidity

DP - Dew point

Pre - Precipitation
SoRa - Solar radiation
Rad - Radiosonde observations

25

Pleu

- Pleuston

Sest

- Seston

Neus

- Neuston

Bent

- Benthos

PeF

- Pelagic fishes

DeF

- Demersal fishes

FObs

- Fishery observations

Bore

- Borers and foulers

Cet

- Cetacea

Sea Surface — The types of sea surface observations and measurements
taken are listed. In addition to the abbreviations and symbols listed for Physical
and Chemical Data, the following are also used:

Col - Color of the water

Tra - Transparency of the water

Wa - Visual data on waves, including sea state

IWa - Instrumented wave data

Ice - Data on ice in the sea

LP - Light penetration

LPW - Long period wave records

Data Center Reference Number — Data which have been processed at a
national, regional, or responsible oceanographic data center, usually have been
assigned some type of identifying reference number by that center. The availabil-
ity of data in automated form is indicated by the initials of the data center fol-
lowed by that center's reference number. For example, machine-processed oceano-
graphic station data for Reference Number 310863 of the National Oceanographic
Data Center would appear as NODC 310863. As a means of identifying those
types of data that have been machine-processed and thus correspond to the Refer-
ence Number, the Diamond symbol (0) is entered in the appropriate columns de-
scribing data that are automated under that Reference Number.

Publication number refers to the Catalogue Number from the WDC-A,
Oceanography Catalogue of Accessioned Publications Supplement identifying the
published report in which the referenced data appear. The absence of a number in
this column indicates that the data were not received in published form.

Remarks — Any additional information included to further describe the
data. The term "(CAT. OF DATA)" or "(Change)", indicates that data for this
listed cruise represent an addition to data previously received by WDC-A, Ocean-
ography, and already described under this Catalogue Number in the Catalogue of
Data (including Change Notice Nos. 1-16) or the referenced Change Notice. An
asterisk (*) is placed beside each data entry which represents an addition to data
catalogued previously; the total number of observations held for this cruise is
shown in parentheses ( ) beneath the data entry. Data entries preceded by a mi-
nus sign (-) and enclosed in parentheses, e.g. (-9), indicate a deletion of observa-
tions. For more extensive explanation of some cruises, the Remarks Section imme-
diately follows the main Catalogue Section in this Change Notice.

NOTE: Track charts showing locations of oceanographic observations are
not printed in the Change Notice. If a track chart is available for a
particular cruise, that information will be given in the Remarks
Section of this Change Notice. WDC-A will gladly provide copies of
such track charts upon request.

DATA HOLDINGS OF RNODC's AND SPECIALIZED DATA CENTERS

This section of the Change Notice provides information on the availability of
specialized data sets prepared by the various Responsible National Oceanographic
Data Centers (RNODC's) and other Specialized Data Centers. Only those data sets
that have actually been received by WDC-A, Oceanography are described in this
section. WDC-A can provide magnetic tape copies of these data sets in the origina-
tor's format.

These data products are not described in the usual manner in the Catalogue
portion of the Change Notice (except for certain separately-identified cruises that
are also included in data sets such as FOY), as the data are not usually merged with
the standard WDC-A, Oceanography data bases. Thus they constitute a suite of
data products, prepared by RNODC's and other Specialized Data Centers, that are
separate and distinct from the standard data types regularly catalogued in the
Change Notices and normally available from WDC-A.

Such data products are not necessarily intended to be routinely exchanged by
the WDC's under normal international data exchange guidelines. They may be
voluminous or costly to prepare and, thus, may be precluded from regular data
exchanges between WDC's and their exchange cooperators. Data sets in automated
form are available from the WDC's usually at a cost not to exceed the cost of
reproduction and postage.

RNODC FOY

FGGE OPERATIONAL YEAR
GLOBAL OCEAN CLIMATE DATA BASE

The Global Ocean Climate Data Base is avail-
able from the National Oceanographic Data
Center (NODC) which served 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)

*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-
ena.

RNODC MEDALPEX (Sea Level)

MEDITERRANEAN ALPINE EXPERIMENT
SEA LEVEL DATA SET

In 1975, the IOC decided to support the development of an oceanographic program
in the Mediterranean during the GARP Alpine Experiment (ALPEX). The
MEDALPEX project took place between 1 September 1981 and 30 September 1982,
with a special period of observation from 15 February 1982 to 30 April 1982. It was
a multi-national project involving scientists from 7 countries.

The main purpose of MEDALPEX was to increase understanding of the effect of
wind forcing on the dynamics of the western part of the Mediterranean Basin.
Specific studies were undertaken, each having a particular scientific objective in-
cluding:

1. The interrelationship between the general circulation
and mesoscale eddies

2. Offshore dynamic response mechanisms under severe
weather conditions

3. Storm surges and the piling up of water, especially
in the Adriatic and Ligurian seas

The measurement of sea level was considered to be an important component of the
observation program to support these studies. A wide range of other types of
oceanographic data were also collected, including classical and synoptic meteorologi-
cal measurements, data collected using remote sensing techniques and data from
current meters, thermistor chains, waverider buoys, CTDs and XBTs.

The Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) was requested by IOC to fulfil
the role of the Responsible National Oceanographic Data Center for the
MEDALPEX sea level data. The work was under-taken on behalf of PSMSL by the
Marine Information and Advisory Service (MIAS) - U.K.'s national oceanographic
data center (now the British Oceanographic Data Centre.)

Sea level data were submitted to MIAS from 29 of the 40 MEDALPEX sites. An
inventory of the data is given on the following page. Measurements from 28 of the
sites were taken using conventional stilling wells and, with one exception, were
supplied to MIAS as hourly values. Data from the remaining site, off the coast of
Corsica, were collected by an Aanderaa water level recorder at half-hourly intervals.

In compiling the dataset, MIAS translated all incoming data into a common format
with elevation values standardized to meters and times to GMT. The data for each
site were plotted as a time series and checks were carried out for gaps or constant
values, spikes, spurious data or punching errors. Further checks were carried out
by tidally analyzing and low pass filtering the data. Non-tidal fluctuations were
investigated using principal component analysis. Qualifying information applicable
to the data from each site was checked for inconsistencies and completeness, and
appropriate documentation was stored with the data in the form of plain language
records. The complete quality controlled dataset, including documentation, is avail-
able as a single magnetic tape formatted in GF3, the IOC's standard format for the
exchange of oceanographic data. A copy of the magnetic tape may be obtained at a
cost not to exceed the cost of reproduction and postage from:

TOGA

TROPICAL OCEAN and GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE

PROGRAMME
TROPICAL SUBSURFACE DATA SET

TOGA Tropical Subsurface Data Centre

The TOGA Tropical Subsurface Data Centre in Brest operates within the frame-
work of both the IOC's International Oceanographic Data Exchange (IODE) system
and the Joint IOC-WMO Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS). The
Centre collects subsurface ocean observations for the tropical oceans (30°N-30°S)
from the following sources:

1. tropical oceans observations from the IGOSS network;

2. additional vertical temperature profiles from XBT's and from
drifting or moored buoys with thermistor chains, not sent over
the GTS;

3. time series of temperature and conductivity (salinity) at fixed depth
from moored thermistor chains;

4. surface temperature and conductivity (salinity) data and vertical
profiles of temperature and conductivity as from CTD's, bottle casts,
and WCTD's; and

5. other subsurface ocean temperature and conductivity (salinity)
measurements from process-oriented intensive oceanographic
observation projects in the tropical oceans.

Initially, data are collected from radio transmissions, with fully digitized and qual-
ity controlled observations added with time.

The subsurface thermal data described above are analyzed, and the Centre pro-
duces quality-controlled Level II-B data sets for the tropical oceans for the ten-year
period (1985-1994). The Centre is also responsible for provision of these data sets
on magnetic tape in GF-3 format to other TOGA Data Centres and to the World
Data Centers, Oceanography at appropriate intervals.

WDC-A. Oceanography Support to TOGA

WDC-A, Oceanography serves as an archival center for the TOGA Tropical Subsur-
face Data Sets. Its responsibilities are to provide TOGA data sets to requesters in
the international scientific community, at a cost not to exceed that of data repro-
duction and postage, and to provide copies of all TOGA data sets received to World
Data Center B, Oceanography in exchange.

WDC-A, Oceanography provides additional data management support to the TOGA
program by its contributions to the enhancement of global tropical thermal data
bases. WDC-A has utilized the IOC's lists of Declared National Programs (DNP's)
to identify selected cruises for which data were observed in the tropical oceans and,
subsequently, requested the data. Report of Observations/Samples Collected by
Oceanographic Programs (ROSCOP) marine data inventory forms have been used
in the same manner to identify available tropical oceans data. The compilation of
the Time Series Data Inventories of the world's oceans by WDC-A, has also resulted
in some cases in the identification of available tropical ocean observations. WDC-A
expects to utilize these tools increasingly in the future to acquire selected data sets
intended to further enhance the tropical oceans data bases.

Climate researchers and modelling experts have identified the digitization of his-
torical oceanographic observations as one of the key elements required in data
management support for TOGA and other Global Change programs, such as GOFS
and WOCE. Such data sets are frequently extremely useful in filling spatial or
temporal gaps in existing digital data holdings. WDC-A, Oceanography's data
archives contain data for a substantial number of observations in manuscript form
that have never been processed. A significant portion of these could provide sup-
port to TOGA. For example, some Japan Fisheries Agency standard sections in the
Western Pacific are in the TOGA area. Many of these manuscript data sets would
be amenable to data entry by an optical scanning device. The possibility of support
for procurement of such a device is being explored by WDC-A.

TOGA Tropical Subsurface Data Products

WDC-A receives Level II-B data sets from the Subsurface Data Centre in Brest for
both Atlantic and Indian Oceans data, as previously described. Magnetic tape
copies of the Level II-B data sets for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans are then
provided to WDCs B and D, Oceanography in exchange. Magnetic tape copies of
these data sets are available at the cost of tape reproduction from:

jointly by NODC and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), serving as the
Joint Environmental Data Analysis (JEDA) Center. JEDA tracks, acquires, quality
controls, and merges all available subsurface thermal data for the Tropical Pacific.
NODC assembles, reformats and initiates quality control of the data; SIO performs
further quality control and analysis of the data. The TOGA Pacific data flow is
depicted in Figure 1. Each yearly Level II-B Pacific Ocean data set undergoes the
full spectrum of quality control and analysis by the JEDA Center. It is then
converted to the GF-3 format and provided to WDC-A, which in turn provides tape

RNODC SOC

SOUTHERN OCEANS DATA SET

The RNODC/Southern Oceans (RNODC/SOC) was created in order to provide a
regional data management and data information service for Southern Oceans physi-
cal and chemical oceanographic data. The RNODC was created under guidelines set
forth in Recommendation XII. 1 by the IOC's Technical Committee on International
Oceanographic Data Exchange (IODE XII, Moscow 10-17 December 1986).

The Terms of Reference of the RNODC/SOC include the following responsibilities:

- Acquire, quality control, and store in standard format the physical and
chemical data obtained by the international community from the cruises and
research programmes carried out in the Southern Oceans;

- Co-operate closely with the World Data Centers, Oceanography by sending
regular shipments (at least once a year), free of charge, of complete sets of
physical and chemical data stored on magnetic tapes in GF3, and inventories,
data summaries, and other data products related to the physical and chemi-
cal data from the Southern Oceans;

- Assist the World Data Centers by sending copies to them of any ROSCOP
forms submitted to the RNODC-SOC;

- Co-operate with the BIOMASS Data Center, regarding exchange of data
and inventories, as well as other data products.

The RNODC-SOC is located in and operated by the Argentine Oceanographic Data
Center (CEADO).

Background

The Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS) is a worldwide system for
the rapid collection, exchange and analysis of oceanographic data and the timely
preparation and dissemination of ocean products and services. IGOSS was estab-
lished to support oceanographic and meteorological research efforts by providing:

(1) a global distribution of oceanographic observations, (2) a mechanism for the
timely and effective exchange of data, and (3) the preparation of oceanographic
analysis products capable of supporting global change and climate research stud-
ies. IGOSS products and services can be useful for input to large scale circula-
tion models, for research survey planning, and for direct application in commer-
cial fisheries, recreation, commercial shipping, and search and rescue efforts.
Real-time ocean products currently available include sea surface and subsurface
temperature analyses and graphical depictions of mixed layer depths and ocean
frontal positions. Additional analyses and data summaries available as delayed-
mode products include: (1) ocean currents, (2) salinity, (3) distribution of pollut-
ants, and (4) weekly and monthly temperature means. The IGOSS data are
BATHY (profiles of temperature with depth) and TESAC (temperature/salinity/
current profiles with depth).

The major operational elements of the IGOSS program are: (1) observing system,

(2) data processing and services system, (3) telecommunication arrangements,
(4) marine pollution monitoring, and (5) data archival and exchange. The organi-
zational structure of the IGOSS data processing and services system consists of
World Oceanographic Centers in Moscow and Washington and National and
Specialized Oceanographic Centers in participating nations. Data from all coop-
erating nations are combined in standard formats at the World Oceanographic
Centers, and then used as input to global and hemispheric analyses for improved
weather forecasting, global climate studies, and a variety of products for oceano-
graphic research uses. National Oceanographic Centers provide quality control
for data from their country entering the international exchange system via a high
speed global telecommunications link called the Global Telecommunication Sys-
tem (GTS) of the World Weather Watch.

Long-range data exchange and service arrangements and long-term archival
activities for IGOSS data are performed by National Oceanographic Data Cen-
ters in Japan, the U.S.S.R., and the United States. These NODC's, serving as
Responsible National Oceanographic Data Centers (RNODC's) for IGOSS, com-
pile archives of IGOSS data and products, assume responsibilities for specified
regions of the world oceans, and deal with problems of quality control. They
maintain geographically sorted, updated magnetic tape files of observations
received via the GTS.

RNODC's/IGOSS Terms of Reference

The terms of reference for RNODC's/IGOSS are as follows:

1. Acquire BATHY and TESAC datasets and sub-surface temperature
data from drifting and moored buoys from IGOSS Specialized Oceano-
graphic Centres (SOC) for area of responsibility; apply supplementary

quality control to acquired data and provide services to users after 30

RNODC/IGOSS - Japan

The RNODC/IGOSS-Japan is operated by the Japan Oceanographic Data Center
(JODC), with support from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), which serves
as a Specialized Oceanographic Center (SOC) for IGOSS. At the SOC, systematic
quality control of the collected BATHY/TESAC reports is made. The SOC com-
piles the IGOSS monthly summaries including maps showing the geographical
distribution of BATHY/TESAC messages and numbers of messages of individual
ships and sends them to the Secretariat of the IOC.

IGOSS data submitted by the SOC are stored in three formats at the RNODC/
IGOSS. The first includes the original data file compiled on a semiannual basis.
This file contains the collected and processed data from the GTS and other opera-
tional sources within the area of responsibility. The second contains the data
and data inventory files recorded in a form of the SYNDARC Format, and is
available to users as computer-generated data summaries, statistical presenta-
tions, and graphical plots, or in a medium which allows the user to further pro-
cess the data using a personal computer. During the conversion process, mini-
mum quality control procedures are applied to the original data based on IOC
Manuals and Guides No. 3. The third is the JODC-formatted version of the data
inventory file. From this file, data products such as data summaries and location
plots of observations are provided to users, as well as to the IOC and WMO.

RNODC/IGOSS - Russia

The RNODC/IGOSS-Russia and SOC for IGOSS data was established in 1984
under the auspices of the All-Union Scientific Research Center for Hydrometeoro-
logical Information and the Russian Hydrometeorological Scientific Research
Center (Russian Hydrometcenter). The responsibilities of the RNODC/IGOSS
include the collection of BATHY/TESAC messages and logs, quality control of the
data, preparation of data sets on magnetic tape, and the development of products
concerning availability and time-space data distribution. The RNODC/IGOSS
also provides national and international users with copies of data, results of
analyses, and with other products for its area of responsibility.

The responsibilities of the SOC include preparation, publication, and distribution
of different types of operational oceanographic products on a regular basis includ-
ing those distributed via FAX machines that are readily available to different
groups of users.

These activities are carried out in accordance with the procedures spelled out in
the IOC's Guide to Operational Procedures for the Collection and Exchange of
Oceanographic Data (BATHY and TESAC). 1985 and the Guide to the IGOSS
Data Processing and Services System. 1983.

RNODC/IGOSS - U.S.

The RNODC/IGOSS-U.S., located at the National Oceanographic Data Center
(NODC), receives near real-time data weekly from the Ocean Products Center at
Suitland, Maryland and the Ocean Applications Group in Monterey, California.
These data are extracted from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) on a
daily basis for screening and editing. At the RNODC, the near real-time data
sent by the two organizations are run through a series of programs to convert the
data into NODC's Universal Bathythermograph (UBT) format. This data set is
next sorted by date, time, position, and an indicator of the source of the data.
The sorted file is then compared with existing observations and duplicates are
eliminated.

The records retained are then sorted by reference number, date, and time to
produce a cruise-ordered data set. From this final data set, inventory records are
created and applied to NODC's Data Inventory Data Base (DINDB). These data
are then merged into the RNODC/IGOSS Archive. The Archive is updated on a
monthly basis in geographical sequence.

Data in the U.S. RNODC/IGOSS Archive are then available for international
exchange and can be provided to users in a variety of forms ranging from mag-
netic tape copies to computer-generated data summaries, statistical analyses,
and graphic plots.

Availability of IGOSS Data and Products through WDC A. Oceanography

Various RNODC/IGOSS data, analyses, and products are available through
WDC-A, Oceanography. Upon request, WDC-A will provide magnetic tape copies
of pertinent data products, or, alternatively, refer the requester to the appropri-
ate IGOSS data source.

RNODC DRIBU

RNODC FOR DRIFTING BUOYS

Background

The Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) began operation of the
RNODC/Drifting Buoy Data in January 1986. The RNODC acquires Drifting
Buoy Data from worldwide sources, makes the data available to international
scientific programs, and prepares geographical plots of Drifting Buoy locations and
tracks for the world oceans on a monthly basis. The RNODC also provides
monthly statistics of operational buoys and the number of messages received from
them.

Acquisition of Drifting Buov Data

There are three procedures by which Drifting Buoy Data are received by the
RNODC. The first and more traditional is for the principal investigator to submit
his data directly to the RNODC, or to his National Oceanographic Data Centre
which in turn submits the data to the RNODC. For historical data sets, this is
the only option available. Data received in this way are usually of the highest
quality, since they have undergone the most discriminating calibration and qual-
ity control procedures under the direction of the principal investigator; however,
data entering the system in this manner are not sufficiently timely to meet the
operational requirements of the major global science programs.

The second path for data flow to the RNODC is via the GTS. An advantage of
this procedure is that the data are available in time scales suitable for the opera-
tional requirements of researchers in programs such as TOGA and WOCE, as well
as for other operational users such as meteorological forecasters. Data received in
this way may be less accurate, because they have not been fully reviewed and
assessed by the principal investigator. For drifting buoy data, there is also a
problem in that using the DRIBU format on the GTS for some buoys may limit
the data that can be transmitted, because of a requirement to restrict the infor-
mation to 256 bits.

A third procedure involves retrieving the DRIBU data as they pass through
Services ARGOS. Although these data still have not been reviewed and assessed
by the principal investigator, they are an improvement over the GTS data in that
both time of observation and position time are available to improve velocity calcu-
lations. Data received by Service ARGOS are stored on magnetic tape for a period
of 90 days. After this time, the tapes are reused and the data then reside solely
in the hands of the principal investigators. Canada and the United States have

60

agreed to share the cost of buying copies of these tapes for the RNODC. Data
from a buoy can only be provided to the RNODC if the principal investigator has
given consent in writing.

RNODC/Driftinp Buov Data Base

MEDS utilizes a hierarchical database, called System 2000, to store the drifting
buoy data; because of the volume of data, each year of data is stored in its own data
base. In order to provide services to users at all time scales and to have available at
each time scale the best data possible, the RNODC has decided to accept all data
using the following hierarchical guidelines:

1. Where possible, Principal Investigators are requested to make their data
available to other operational users and to the RNODC by having the
data transmitted on the GTS. The RNODC will copy all available data
from the GTS, quality control it, and update it into the data base on a
weekly basis.

2. Principal Investigators are also requested to agree to have Service
ARGOS provide a copy of their data to MEDS via tape each month
whether or not those data have already been on the GTS. The data
circulated on the GTS have only the one time included which poses a
difficulty in calculating velocities. Thus, the tape data with the two
times is an improvement to the database and will be used to replace the
GTS data in the database. In addition, data will be picked up which
could not be circulated on the GTS because of the format of the
transmission from the buoy.

If Service Argos has not already been supplied with the calibration
constants, channel allocations, and algorithms, or has not been
requested to make the conversions to physical units, there will be a
requirement for the RNODC to obtain this information from the
principal investigators. Principal investigators are reminded that if the
sensor data cannot be made available, the position data itself is of value
for the database.

3. Principal Investigators are requested to provide a copy of their Drifting
Buoy Data either directly to the RNODC when the fully processed,
quality controlled version is available, or to provide the data to their
National Oceanographic Data Centre, where the RNODC will be
requesting such data on a regular basis. Data received by this path will
replace GTS or Service ARGOS versions of the data in the database.

By receiving data in the configuration set forth above, and replacing earlier, lower
quality data as higher quality versions of the data arrive, the RNODC can offer

61

users a choice between timeliness and quality, as dictated by their particular
requirements.

The RNODC recognizes that in some cases there exists a need to restrict distri-
bution of data to protect a scientist's right to benefit first from collection activities
carried out at considerable effort and cost. It is noted that the large international
experiments generally have data exchange agreements that state when the data are
available to other participants and to those outside the program. The RNODC will
honor such data exchange agreements and will, at a scientist's request, restrict
further distribution of the data according to the terms of the pertinent agreement.
In regard to data from individual scientists, bilateral agreements on further
distribution of data for a period of up to two years can also be made

RNODC Services

As mentioned earlier, the RNODC maintains its drifting buoy data in a data
base structure. This provides maximum flexibility when meeting a request. While
a number of different qualifiers may be used to retrieve data, the most common are
area and time. Requesters may also specify all data or only those which have
passed the quality control procedures. On output, the data can be written to
magnetic tape in a standard subset of the GF3 formatting system or in some other
agreed ad hoc character format, if appropriate. In choosing the data format, users
should be aware that the GF3 Formatting System is supported by a powerful and
growing software system which is available for many of the more widely used host
computers.

Each month, the RNODC publishes a summary of the data it has received in
real time; also produced are global maps of drifting buoy tracks for the previous
month. These maps are issued regularly on a monthly basis. Anyone wishing to
receive this summary, should contact the RNODC. There is no charge to receive
this product.

TROPICAL OCEAN and GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE

PROGRAMME
SEA LEVEL DATA SET

TQQA Background

A major component of the TOGA International Implementation Plan is the
monitoring of the global atmosphere and the upper layers of the three tropical
oceans during the ten-year period of 1985-1994. Existing meteorological and
oceanographic observation systems have been maintained and expanded by TOGA
while new networks have been installed in key locations. These observations along
with available historical data will provide a description of the ocean-climate system
and its variability from sub-seasonal to interannual scales.

TOGA Sea Level Center

The TOGA Project, realizing the importance of sea level data for research in
ocean dynamics and for the monitoring and prediction of oceanographic processes,
has established a TOGA Sea Level Center at the University of Hawaii. It is the
purpose of the Center to collect all sea level data taken by island-based and coastal
tide gauges in the TOGA area between 30°N and 30°S during the ten years of the
TOGA project, 1985 to 1994, and to make them available for research. The TOGA
Sea Level Center also obtains and archives past sea level data for the same region,
when they are made available from the originators. Hourly, daily, and monthly
values are prepared and archived, the data are stored digitally on magnetic tape,
and are passed on yearly to other TOGA data centers, to the Permanent Service for
Mean Sea Level (PSMSL), and to the World Data Centers A, B, and D for Oceanog-
raphy. The TOGA Sea Level Center also supports the Global Sea Level Observing
System (GLOSS). The importance of sea level data has been enhanced by the need
for calibration of satellite altimeters such as GEOSAT, and for the TOPEX mission
planned for WOCE.

Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL)

Through the creation of the Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) with the
University of Hawaii, the National Oceanographic Data Center, serving as a Spe-
cialized Data Center, is providing data management for this effort and assisting in
the acquisition, processing, quality assurance, archiving, and dissemination of the
data. The Joint Archive for Sea Level submits sea level time series data updates to
NODC on a yearly basis. These updates may include data from new stations, as
well as previously unprocessed data from existing stations. In addition, the updates
may include data previously submitted to NODC that have been reprocessed to
improve data quality. Therefore, to update the sea level data files for a station
already in the database, NODC completely replaces the data time series for that
station with a new version that may include both new and reprocessed data.

Availability of JASL Data through WDC-A. Oceanography

NODC maintains the JASL permanent archive of sea level data in three
archive data files that contain hourly data, daily data, and monthly data. Data for
the entire data base or selected subsets can be retrieved from these data files and
provided to customers on magnetic tape or - for small data volumes - on a floppy
disk at prices determined by data volume and output medium.

The JASL data set is available from:

GTSPP

GLOBAL TEMPERATURE - SALINITY PILOT

PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

Making ocean temperature and salinity data quickly and easily
accessible to users is the primary goal of the Global Temperature-
Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP) . A cooperative international
project, the GTSPP has now developed a global ocean T-S data base
comprised of data that are as up-to-date and of the highest quality
possible. Countries contributing to the project are Australia,
Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States.

U.S. PARTICIPATION

The U.S. supports the GTSPP through the participation of its
National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) . The NODC fulfills
several functions in support of the GTSPP:

1. Data communications support. The Internet is used daily to
transmit and receive data and project information. Real-time data
are relayed from NOAA's National Weather Service and the Navy's
Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center to Canada's Marine Environmen-
tal Data Service (MEDS) . In addition, monthly files are transmit-
ted to oceanography centers in Hobart, Australia; Brest, France; La
Jolla, Calif.; Miami, Fla.; and other locations in the United
States. Each month approximately 3 0 megabytes of GTSPP data are
received or transmitted using FTP (file transfer protocol) over the
Internet.

2. Data quality control. All GTSPP data are passed through
standard data quality tests, which are documented in the GTSPP
Real-Time Quality Control Manual (Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission Manuals and Guides No. 22, Unesco, 1990). In early
1994, the NODC implemented two systems to apply quality tests to
data destined for the GTSPP database. The systems operate on UNIX-
based workstations that are part of NODC's new client/server
computing environment. One system displays geographic positions of
observations as compared to landmasses, and shows ship speed
between observations as a check on positions, dates and times. The
second system applies tests to subsurface temperature and salinity
data, setting flags to reflect test results.

3. Database maintenance. GTSPP data are maintained in a relation-
al database that is managed by commercial software on a UNIX work
station. Real-time data are added automatically, as they arrive
from MEDS three times per week. Higher quality delayed mode data

6 6

are now being quality controlled and added to the database. As
these observations are added, the matching real-time data are
tagged to avoid sending two copies of the same data. The database
makes it possible to quickly load and retrieve data, as well as to
provide statistics about the number of observations per geographic
region, time period, ship, or data type.

6TSPP DATA

Data in the GTSPP database are generated by ships or buoys from all
regions of the world's oceans. Instruments used to collect the
data include thermistor chains (on buoys) , XBTs, digital
bathythermographs (DBTs) , bottle samplers, and CTDs. The data are
sent in real-time (by radio or satellite transmission) and later in
delayed mode when ships return to port.

Delayed-mode records are generally of higher resolution than
records sent in real time. Therefore, NODC acquires delayed mode
data (usually several months after data were collected) and merges
them into the database. To avoid duplication of real-time and
delayed mode observations, real-time records are matched to corre-
sponding delayed mode records in the database. In that way, the
GTSPP data resource is built quickly from real-time records and
subsequently enhanced by high quality, high resolution delayed-mode
records.

SUPPORT TO CLIMATE RESEARCH

NODC continues to provide monthly files of real-time data to WOCE
Upper Ocean Thermal science centers in France, Australia, and the
U.S.; each of these centers uses the data in ocean climate re-
search. Results of their scientific analyses are fed back into the
GTSPP database to enhance data quality. Also, in support of WOCE,
NODC now produces reports of the distribution of data along TOGA-
WOCE-IGOSS transect lines.

GTSPP has demonstrated the feasibility of a global ocean network of
data management and science centers. The project has shown that
computer technology and networks, now in place, are sufficient for
sustaining cooperative work such as that being done in GTSPP.
Experience gained from GTSPP will be useful to future global ocean
data management projects, such as the Global Ocean Observing System
(GOOS) .

Data Base, as well as participation in the Project itself, please
