Abstract:

The U.S. Navy is developing a long-range program for an oceanographer in space. This program will become part of a fully integrated Office of the Chief of Naval Research OCNR science and technology plan to guide further programs in space oceanography. These activities serve two purposes, with the first leading to the second to show the current ideas on shuttle based oceanography and to elicit comments from the scientific community that might improve those thoughts.
