A miniature fiber-optical point sea-refractometer with industrial prototype status has been developed for use in high-speed profiling applications. It can be used for a quick, precise survey of the density field of the ocean by directly measuring the index of refraction. Field data evaluation studies have shown that index of refraction profiles provide an extremely good representation of the actual density distribution. Significant correlation anomalies between CTD (current-temperature-density) derived density data and densities determined from index of refraction measurements have been observed. These differences can serve as parameters for a much more detailed description of bodies of water.<>

Modern naval warfare has, over the years, resulted in the relegation of accurate positioning and navigation to a second class role. The modern naval officer worries about positioning usually only when concerned with navigation. During the battle he most often conducts his operations in a relative motion sense using relative ranges and bearings. The once widelyrespected title of navigator has been replaced by that of the Tactical Action Officer. Despite these lamentable trends, accurate positioning remains as important today as it ever was. The trends toward over-the-horizon targetingfbattles and strict Emission Controls (EMCON), coupled with the more traditional tactics in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Mine Warfare, continue to require good geographic positioning as a matter of paramount importance.

Summary form only given, as follows. A PC (personal computer)-based image-processing system has been produced to enhance the image analysis functions within NOAA (the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and to facilitate high-quality product creation and rapid dissemination. It uses basic commercially available components and NOAA-written software. This system allows for display of mapped, gridded, full 11-bit resolution image information from LAC, GAC, or GOES images. The dynamic color enhancement utilities allow for easy interpretation of ocean thermal structure details because each area of an image can be custom-enhanced with as many or as few color intervals as necessary and annotated on separable nondestructive overlay planes for future use or direct distribution. The software is menu-driven and quite simple to operate.<>

A specially configured spar buoy with a 150-m Kevlar multielement sensor string has been designed for deployment in the Antarctic ice fields. The buoy collects a full suite of meteorological data, combined with hourly samples from the oceanographic sensor tether. Water column sensors consist of ten medium-resolution multiplexed temperature sensors to provide an estimate of the salinity structure below the buoy. Data relay is carried out using the Argos capability of the two orbiting NOAA satellites. A pair of developmental AMOS (Antarctic Meteorological Oceanographic Spar) buoys were deployed during the winter of 1987-8 in the open waters of the Weddell Sea, Antarctica, from the German oceanographic research vessel Polarstern. Recent data show the rate of mixed layer cooling prior to freeze-up.<>

Calculations on a minicomputer have been carried out to account for the drift of an object due to tidal currents for up to three tidal cycles. An algorithm using the National Ocean Survey tidal current tables and tidal current charts of Long Island sound and Block Island sound as data sources accounts for the changes in current velocity over the duration of the tidal cycles. This algorithm allows for entry of the last known position and time of an object and yields both a graphic and tabular display of subsequent times and positions of the object. The resulting drift position can then be used on the same drift position from other geographic positions or can be used to update the most probable position in search-and-rescue case planning.<>
