Wave data recorded by a NOMAD buoy and a Waverider buoy in the west central basin of Lake Erie during September, October, and November 1984 are compared. Data include significant wave height, average wave period, wave spectra, and water temperature. The two systems were found to provide comparable estimates of wave height, wave period, and wave spectra only during periods when significant wave height exceeded 0.5 m. At lower wave heights, the NOMAD buoy gave slightly lower estimates of significant wave height than the Waverider. The Waverider processing system was unable to provide accurate spectral information for low wave heights because of aliasing. Water temperature measurements from the two systems were virtually identical.

NOAA's National Ocean Service has begun a new program of mapping the ocean floor within the United States' Exclusive Economic Zone. The program will produce base maps to support the exploration, exploitation, conservation and management of natural resources in this vast area which is now under national sovereignty. This is a cooperative effort with the United States Geological Survey and a part of a Federal program in support of the Exclusive Economic Zone. The primary mission of the program is to produce accurate, high resolution bathymetric data using modern multibeam swath mapping systems. NDAA is currently applying its two systems - a Sea Beam and a Bathymetric Swath Survey System (BS3)- to this task. Additional systems are to be installed. Characteristics of these systems and the positioning equipment being used as well as the data processing techniques being employed will be examined and related to the data products which are being prepared. Mapping progress to date will be reviewed and survey plans described. Opportunities for acquisition of other data in conjuction with the planned surveys will be presented.

One can realize a powerful optical interferometric electronical bench salinometer/ densitometer, which may even use distilled water as a reference rather than "Standard Sea Water". Major specifications of the present day prototype in terms of salinity are: Accuracy:pm 0.005precision:pm0.001, reasonable resolution: 0.0003. The range of measurements covers S = 0...40. A favourable feature is the inherent possibility of measurement in continuous flow. Problems of thermostating and handling of the liquid samples have been solved. Research and development is going on with emphasis on increasing the handling speed of samples. This focusses on the design of a very unconventional optical double- cuvette which allows for high speed flushing. While at OCEANS'84 the description of the foundations of the measuring principle stood in the foreground, critical data from performance tests are now to be reported on and discussed in detail.

France's Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion program has shown the feasibility and competitiveness of open or closed cycle systems for plants generating less than 20 MWe. The design of a 5 MWe shore-based pilot plant for Tahiti began in 1982. The second stage of the program now in progress will select the most effective cycle for the Tahiti plant. This paper presents initial experiments with the vertical-spout flash evaporator designed for the open cycle version. Results cover variable water flows in terms of the non-equilibrium pressure differences at the inlet and outlet, gas release, liquid entrainment and liquid-side pressure drop. Three modes of evaporation dictated by bubble bursting conditions are described and the effects of salinity, jet interaction and spout height are discussed.

Underwater cave divers using Scuba gear to perform scientific research (including measurement recording, biological collecting, geological sampling, and photographic recording) must overcome several unique problems to attain their goals. The equipment and methods have been developed over many years, and have been utilized on many underwater research expeditions in such places as the Bahamas, Canary Islands, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Republic of Palau, and the United States. Although these items were developed to meet specific needs and purposes, the potential for other ocean development/ measurement applications could be of interest to scientific and sport diver organizations and commercial firms.

A novel transmission scheme based on the Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform (SDFT) is proposed for communicating in multipath acoustic channel and its performance is evaluated by computer simulations. The system described uses constant envelope multifrequency signals and can tolerate large Doppler frequency shifts and strong multipath conditions. Beam diversity is suggested as an additional protection against signal fading caused by acoustic shadow zones. With the availability of VLSI circuits to implement the SDFT algorithm (such as the Recticon Quad Chirped Transversal Filter), the system is particularly attractive in situations where power and space conservation are of prime importance, as in remotely controlled submersibles.

The operational capability of the U.S. Coast Guard's POLAR Class icebreakers is reviewed for Alaskan ice covered waters. Operational capability is defined in terms of three distinct geographic areas: the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas. POLAR Class icebreakers have successfully operated in each of these areas since 1979. As a result of the deployments, it is possible to draw conclusions on the relative environmental severity for each region and the impact of such ice conditions on POLAR Class operations. Pictorial representations illustrate the zones of environmental severity for each of the Alaskan seas. The paper suggests that POLAR Class icebreakers can operate year-round in the Bering Sea. Operations in the Chukchi Sea during winter are possible while winter transits into the Beaufort Sea are probably not feasible without refueling enroute. Ice navigation and ice piloting skills are deemed vitally important to the success of any Alaskan Arctic marine transportation system.

Using the technology developed during 15 years of the highly successful Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) is continuing to pursue both the scientific objectives of recovering core samples from beneath the world's oceans and the technical objectives of advancing the state-of-the-art of deep water coring. The wide variety of wireline coring tools developed during DSDP (1968-1983) which are still in use include a standard Rotary Core Barrel (RCB), a through-the-bit Extended Core Barrel (XCB) and a Pressure Core Barrel (PCB) for recovering cores at in situ pressures up to 5000 psi. All of these are variations of rotary coring done in conjunction with TCI roller cone core bits. Non-rotary coring tools and downhole instruments have included three generations of hydraulic piston corers for use in recovering undisturbed cores in unconsolidated sediments. The most recent version, the Advanced Piston Corer (APC), is about half as mechanically complex as its predecessors, yet delivers 76% greater coring thrust. Magnetic azimuth orientation for each piston core is available utilizing an Eastman multishot tool. A miniaturized electronic temperature measuring instrument can be used with the APC or a combined Heat Flow/Pore Water Sampler tool can be deployed in soft formations. Current ODP tool developments include a wireline retrievable hard rock coring tool, driven by a 3-3/4 inch diameter mud-motor. A sea floor structure to stabilize a hollow rotor 9-1/2 inch PDM mudmotor is being developed to start holes on hard rock with little or no sediment cover. Possibilities for future tool developments include: hydraulic sidewall samplers for hard rock or soft formations; in situ gas sampling in soft sediments; wireline retrievable downhole geotechnical instruments; a vibracorer to recover loose sands; and "smart" core barrels with the ability to interpret and adjust for changes in coring parameters.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in support of global oceanographic studies and the large-scale oceanographic experiments of the World Climate Research Program, has begun a program to measure oceanic winds, currents, and tides from space. The two major elements of the program are: (a) A Nasa Scatterometer NSCAT to measure winds from space to be flown on the Navy's Remote Ocean Sensing System NROSS satellite; and (b) the Topex/Poseidon altimetric satellite to measure currents and tides. The NSCAT will measure surface wind speed and direction on a 50 km grid with an accuracy ofpm 2m/s andpm 20degalong 600 km wide swaths on either side of the spacecraft to provide near global coverage every two clays for three years. NSCAT is funded and launch is planned for September 1990. The combination of Nasa's Topex program with the Poseidon program of the French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, Topex/Poseidon, has led to plans to launch a joint altimetric satellite in February 1991 to measure sea-surface topography with an accuracy ofpm 14cm and a precision ofpm 2.4cm along a fixed global grid every 10 days for three years. These measurements will be used to calculate the time-varying and permanent surface geostrophic currents at the sea surface, oceanic tides, and ocean wave height.

How can the National Ocean Service (NOS) and private industry work together to best use our resources to realize the full potential for ocean use? The current Administration has emphasized the necessity of fostering strong private industry/government partnerships. In doing this, the government should provide basic research, but private industry must put it to work. NOS is fulfilling its mandate of providing basic oceanographic research and has established partnerships with industry in order to develop cooperative projects that are mutually beneficial and effect technology transfer. Through activities such as the NOAA Users' Conference and regional Project PORTS workshops, private industry has learned of NOS's services and NOS has increased its awareness of the oceanographic industry's needs. In order for NOS to continue to meet those needs, more attention must be focused on the importance and usefulness of applied oceanographic products. Only when the public is aware of the vast potential and applicability of ocean resources will the necessary support be found for basic oceanographic research.
